feat: add inventory transaction audit trail (Phase 2)

Adds complete audit trail for all stock movements:
- InventoryTransaction model with transaction types (reserve, fulfill,
  release, adjust, set, import, return)
- Alembic migration for inventory_transactions table
- Transaction logging in order_inventory_service for all order operations
- Captures quantity snapshots, order references, and timestamps

Each inventory operation now creates a transaction record for
accountability and debugging.

+1. **Multi-Location Selection** - Choose which location to draw from
-2. **Multi-Location Selection** - Choose which location to draw from
+2. **Backorder Support** - Handle orders when stock is insufficient
-3. **Backorder Support** - Handle orders when stock is insufficient
+3. **Return Processing** - Increase stock when orders are returned
-4. **Return Processing** - Increase stock when orders are returned
+4. **Transaction API** - Endpoint to view inventory history
