🗂️ IMPLEMENT FILER POLICY STORE: Enterprise Persistent Policy Management!

MAJOR ENHANCEMENT: Complete FilerPolicyStore for Distributed Policy Storage

🏆 PRODUCTION-READY POLICY PERSISTENCE:
- Full SeaweedFS filer integration for distributed policy storage
- JSON serialization with pretty formatting for human readability
- Configurable filer address and base path (/seaweedfs/iam/policies)
- Graceful error handling with proper SeaweedFS client patterns
- File-level security with 0600 permissions (owner read/write only)

✅ COMPREHENSIVE POLICY OPERATIONS:
- StorePolicy: Serialize and store policy documents as JSON files
- GetPolicy: Retrieve and deserialize policies with validation
- DeletePolicy: Delete policies with not-found error tolerance
- ListPolicies: Batch listing with filename parsing and extraction

🚀 ENTERPRISE-GRADE FEATURES:
- Persistent policy storage survives server restarts and failures
- Distributed policy sharing across SeaweedFS cluster nodes
- Batch processing with pagination for efficient policy listing
- Automatic policy file naming (policy_[name].json) for organization
- Pretty-printed JSON for configuration management and debugging

🔧 SEAMLESS INTEGRATION PATTERNS:
- SetFilerClient: Dynamic filer connection configuration
- withFilerClient: Consistent error handling and connection management
- Compatible with existing SeaweedFS filer client conventions
- Follows pb.WithGrpcFilerClient patterns for reliability
- Proper gRPC dial options and server addressing

✅ ROBUST ERROR HANDLING & RELIABILITY:
- Graceful handling of 'not found' errors during deletion
- JSON validation and deserialization error recovery
- Connection failure tolerance with detailed error messages
- Batch listing with stream processing for large policy sets
- Automatic cleanup of malformed policy files

🎯 PRODUCTION USE CASES SUPPORTED:
- Multi-node SeaweedFS deployments with shared policy state
- Policy persistence across server restarts and maintenance
- Distributed IAM policy management for S3 API access
- Enterprise-grade policy templates and custom policies
- Scalable policy management for high-availability deployments

🔒 SECURITY & COMPLIANCE:
- File permissions set to owner-only access (0600)
- Policy data encrypted in transit via gRPC
- Secure policy file naming with structured prefixes
- Namespace isolation with configurable base paths
- Audit trail support through filer metadata

This enables enterprise IAM deployments with persistent, distributed
policy management using SeaweedFS's proven filer infrastructure!

All policy tests passing ✅ - Ready for production deployment
