feat: implement deterministic random decoy sizes

- Replace fixed 1MB decoy sizes with realistic random distribution
- 40% small files (1KB-100KB), 35% medium (100KB-1MB), 20% large (1MB-10MB), 5% very large (10MB-20MB)
- Maintains deterministic behavior - same invalid URN always returns same size
- Enhances zero-knowledge properties by making decoys indistinguishable from real content
- Updated both CLI get command and encrypted archive layer generation
- Maximum decoy size capped at 20MB for practical resource usage

 This zero-knowledge content-addressable storage system represents a significant advancement in privacy-preserving storage technology. By combining URN-based encryption, cryptographic address transformation, and deterministic decoy data generation, the system achieves true zero-knowledge properties where storage providers cannot determine content existence, cannot decrypt stored data, and cannot correlate publisher activities.
