feat: Implement error handling and response structure for API

- Added standardized error response structure in `errors.go` for consistent error handling across the API.
- Implemented specific response functions for various HTTP status codes (400, 401, 403, 404, 500) to enhance error reporting.
- Introduced validation error handling to provide detailed feedback on input validation issues.

test: Add comprehensive tests for share handler functionality

- Created a suite of tests for share handler endpoints, covering scenarios for creating, listing, deleting shares, and managing share links.
- Included tests for permission checks, validation errors, and edge cases such as unauthorized access and invalid document IDs.

chore: Set up test utilities and database for integration tests

- Established a base handler suite for common setup tasks in tests, including database initialization and teardown.
- Implemented test data seeding to facilitate consistent testing across different scenarios.

migration: Add public sharing support in the database schema

- Modified the `documents` table to include `share_token` and `is_public` columns for managing public document sharing.
- Added constraints to ensure data integrity, preventing public documents from lacking a share token.
