feat: implement monitoring & alerting system

- Add AuditLogs collection for tracking critical system actions
  - User changes (create, update, delete)
  - Tenant changes with sensitive data masking
  - Login events tracking

- Add Alert Service with multi-channel support
  - Email, Slack, Discord, Console channels
  - Configurable alert levels (info, warning, error, critical)
  - Environment-based configuration

- Add Email failure alerting
  - Automatic alerts on repeated failed emails
  - Per-tenant failure counting with hourly reset

- Add Email-Logs API endpoints
  - GET /api/email-logs/export (CSV/JSON export)
  - GET /api/email-logs/stats (statistics with filters)

- Add audit hooks for Users and Tenants collections
- Update TODO.md with completed monitoring tasks
