feat: add like/unlike toggle on blog posts with per-user tracking

- PostLike domain entity (post_id, liked_by) with BaseEntity integration
- Post entity: add like_count field (default 0) and to_dict serialization
- PostRepository interface: add get_like, add_like, remove_like methods
- TogglePostLikeUseCase: toggle logic (like → unlike, unlike → like)
- PostResponseDTO/PostResponseSchema: add like_count field
- PostLikeORM model with FK to posts and cascade delete
- SQLAlchemyPostRepository: implement like query/add/remove with ORM mapping
- DI provider registration for TogglePostLikeUseCase
- API endpoint POST /api/v1/posts/{id}/like (auth required)
- Unit tests: PostLike entity, Post.like_count, TogglePostLikeUseCase (7 tests)
- API tests: POST /api/v1/posts/{id}/like (4 tests)
- Test model files: FEATURE_LIKES.md, TEST_MODEL.md updated
