Neues Modul das den regulatorischen Spielraum fuer KI-Use-Cases
deterministisch berechnet und optimale Konfigurationen vorschlaegt.

Kernfeatures:
- 13-Dimensionen Constraint-Space (DSGVO + AI Act)
- 3-Zonen-Analyse: Verboten / Eingeschraenkt / Erlaubt
- Deterministische Optimizer-Engine (kein LLM im Kern)
- 28 Constraint-Regeln aus DSGVO, AI Act, EDPB Guidelines
- 28 Tests (Golden Suite + Meta-Tests)
- REST API: /sdk/v1/maximizer/* (9 Endpoints)
- Frontend: 3-Zonen-Visualisierung, Dimension-Form, Score-Gauges

[migration-approved]
