feat: add retry, pagination, and filtering utilities with comprehensive tests

- Add retry utility with exponential backoff for transient failures
- Add pagination utilities supporting both offset and cursor-based pagination
- Add filtering and sorting utilities for API requests
- Include comprehensive unit tests (109 tests total, all passing)
- Utilities designed to work with Prisma ORM
