feat: add pub/sub message filtering to push notification processor

- Add isPubSubMessage() function to identify pub/sub message types
- Filter out pub/sub messages in ProcessPendingNotifications
- Allow pub/sub system to handle its own messages without interference
- Process only cluster/system push notifications (MOVING, MIGRATING, etc.)
- Add comprehensive test coverage for filtering logic

Pub/sub message types filtered:
- message (regular pub/sub)
- pmessage (pattern pub/sub)
- subscribe/unsubscribe (subscription management)
- psubscribe/punsubscribe (pattern subscription management)
- smessage (sharded pub/sub, Redis 7.0+)

Benefits:
- Clear separation of concerns between pub/sub and push notifications
- Prevents interference between the two messaging systems
- Ensures pub/sub messages reach their intended handlers
- Eliminates message loss due to incorrect interception
- Improved system reliability and performance
- Better resource utilization and message flow

Implementation:
- Efficient O(1) switch statement for message type lookup
- Case-sensitive matching for precise filtering
- Early return to skip unnecessary processing
- Maintains processing of other notifications in same batch
- Applied to all processing points (WithReader, Pool.Put, isHealthyConn)

Test coverage:
- TestIsPubSubMessage - Function correctness and edge cases
- TestPubSubFiltering - End-to-end integration testing
- Mixed message scenarios and handler verification
