feat: implement strongly typed HandlerContext interface

Convert HandlerContext from struct to interface with strongly typed getters
for different client types. This provides better type safety and a cleaner
API for push notification handlers while maintaining flexibility.

Key Changes:

1. HandlerContext Interface Design:
   - Converted HandlerContext from struct to interface
   - Added strongly typed getters for different client types
   - GetClusterClient() returns ClusterClientInterface
   - GetSentinelClient() returns SentinelClientInterface
   - GetFailoverClient() returns FailoverClientInterface
   - GetRegularClient() returns RegularClientInterface
   - GetPubSub() returns PubSubInterface

2. Client Type Interfaces:
   - Defined ClusterClientInterface for cluster client access
   - Defined SentinelClientInterface for sentinel client access
   - Defined FailoverClientInterface for failover client access
   - Defined RegularClientInterface for regular client access
   - Defined PubSubInterface for pub/sub access
   - Each interface provides String() method for basic operations

3. Concrete Implementation:
   - Created handlerContext struct implementing HandlerContext interface
   - Added NewHandlerContext constructor function
   - Implemented type-safe getters with interface casting
   - Returns nil for incorrect client types (type safety)

4. Updated All Usage:
   - Updated Handler interface to use HandlerContext interface
   - Updated ProcessorInterface to use HandlerContext interface
   - Updated all processor implementations (Processor, VoidProcessor)
   - Updated all handler context creation sites
   - Updated test handlers and test context creation

5. Helper Methods:
   - Updated pushNotificationHandlerContext() in baseClient
   - Updated pushNotificationHandlerContext() in PubSub
   - Consistent context creation across all client types
   - Proper parameter passing for different connection types

6. Type Safety Benefits:
   - Handlers can safely cast to specific client types
   - Compile-time checking for client type access
   - Clear API for accessing different client capabilities
   - No runtime panics from incorrect type assertions

7. API Usage Example:
   ```go
   func (h *MyHandler) HandlePushNotification(
       ctx context.Context,
       handlerCtx HandlerContext,
       notification []interface{},
   ) bool {
       // Strongly typed access
       if clusterClient := handlerCtx.GetClusterClient(); clusterClient != nil {
           // Handle cluster-specific logic
       }
       if sentinelClient := handlerCtx.GetSentinelClient(); sentinelClient != nil {
           // Handle sentinel-specific logic
       }
       return true
   }
   ```

8. Backward Compatibility:
   - Interface maintains same functionality as original struct
   - All existing handler patterns continue to work
   - No breaking changes to handler implementations
   - Smooth migration path for existing code

Benefits:
- Strong type safety for client access in handlers
- Clear API with explicit client type getters
- Compile-time checking prevents runtime errors
- Flexible interface allows future extensions
- Better separation of concerns between client types
- Enhanced developer experience with IntelliSense support

This enhancement provides handlers with strongly typed access to different
Redis client types while maintaining the flexibility and context information
needed for sophisticated push notification handling, particularly important
for hitless upgrades and cluster management operations.
