docs: Add comprehensive Object Storage Provider research (B2, R2, Storj native APIs)

Research document analyzing three major object storage providers for InfraFabric integration:

## Content Added

### Backblaze B2 Native API (Complexity: 5/10)
- RESTful JSON API with v4 multi-bucket support
- Strong consistency guarantees
- Application key authentication with scoping
- Core endpoints for bucket and file operations
- Multipart upload support
- Pricing: /bin/bash.005/GB/month storage, /bin/bash.01/GB egress
- Recommended for document archival at scale

### Cloudflare R2 API (Complexity: 4/10)
- Workers API (native) + S3-compatible REST
- Zero egress fees (major cost advantage)
- Edge-native processing integration
- Pricing: /bin/bash.015/GB/month storage, FREE egress
- Best for bandwidth-heavy applications

### Storj Decentralized Cloud Storage (Complexity: 7/10)
- Uplink SDK (Go native) with language bindings
- End-to-end encryption by default
- Distributed across 1,280+ nodes globally
- Pricing: /bin/bash.004/GB/month storage, /bin/bash.007/GB egress
- Per-segment fees for small files
- Ideal for privacy-critical and compliance workloads

## Key Features

- Feature comparison matrix across all three providers
- Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis for multiple scenarios
- InfraFabric complexity ratings (1-10 scale)
- Integration timeline estimates
- IF.TTT citations for research traceability
- SDK and client library documentation
- Authentication and authorization analysis
- Comprehensive pricing breakdown

## Recommendation

**Primary: Backblaze B2** - optimal balance for NaviDocs document storage
- Cost-effective, strong consistency, simple API
- 5-7 days to production integration

**Secondary: Cloudflare R2** - for high-bandwidth deployments
- Zero egress fees, edge computing, fastest integration (3-4 days)

**Tertiary: Storj DCS** - privacy-first deployments
- End-to-end encryption, lowest storage cost, compliance-ready
