feat: add retry with exponential backoff for notification delivery (#87)
## Summary

Notifications were fire-and-forget: if Slack, Mattermost, or ntfy was temporarily down, changes were silently lost. This adds automatic retry with exponential backoff and jitter to all notification endpoints.

## Changes

### New file: `internal/notify/retry.go`
- `RetryConfig` struct with configurable max retries, base delay, max delay
- `backoff()` computes delay as `BaseDelay * 2^attempt`, capped at `MaxDelay`, with ±25% jitter
- `deliverWithRetry()` wraps any send function with the retry loop
- Defaults: 3 retries (4 total attempts), 1s base delay, 10s max delay
- Context-aware: respects cancellation during retry sleep
- Injectable `sleepFn` for test determinism

### Modified: `internal/notify/notify.go`
- Added `retryConfig` and `sleepFn` fields to `Service`
- Updated `dispatchNtfy`, `dispatchSlack`, `dispatchMattermost` to wrap sends in `deliverWithRetry`
- Structured logging: warns on each retry, logs error only after all retries exhausted, logs info on success after retry

### Modified: `internal/notify/export_test.go`
- Added test helpers: `SetRetryConfig`, `SetSleepFunc`, `DeliverWithRetry`, `BackoffDuration`

### New file: `internal/notify/retry_test.go`
- Backoff calculation tests (exponential increase, max cap with jitter)
- `deliverWithRetry` unit tests: first-attempt success, transient failure recovery, exhausted retries, context cancellation
- Integration tests via `SendNotification`: transient failure retries, all-endpoints retry independently, permanent failure exhausts retries

## Verification
- `make fmt` 
- `make check` (format + lint + tests + build) 
- `docker build .` 
- All existing tests continue to pass unchanged
- No DNS client mocking — notification tests use `httptest` servers
