feat: split worker into separate binary (cmd/worker)

Kafka consumers and WorkerPool are moved out of the server process into
a dedicated worker binary. Server now handles HTTP + SSE only; worker
handles Kafka consumption and AI processing.

- cmd/worker/main.go + init.go: new binary with minimal config
  (DATABASE_URL, OPENAI_API_KEY, KAFKA_BROKERS)
- cmd/server: remove WorkerPool, paidConsumer, freeConsumer
- Dockerfile: builds both server and worker binaries
- docker-compose.yml: add worker service
- Makefile: add run-worker and docker-logs-worker targets
- README.md: document worker startup and env vars

+### 4. Запуск воркера
+
+Сервер (`cmd/server`) и воркер (`cmd/worker`) — два отдельных процесса:
+
+- **Сервер** — обслуживает HTTP API и SSE-стримы; публикует задания распознавания в Kafka.
+- **Воркер** — потребляет задания из Kafka, вызывает AI, сохраняет результаты в БД и оповещает сервер через `pg_notify`.
+
+**Локально** (инфраструктура в Docker, процессы локально):
+
+```bash
+# Поднять Kafka + PostgreSQL
+docker compose up -d postgres kafka kafka-init
+
+# В отдельном терминале — сервер
+make run
+
+# В другом терминале — воркер
+go run ./cmd/worker
+```
+
+**Переменные окружения воркера:**
+
+| Переменная | Описание |
+|---|---|
+| `DATABASE_URL` | DSN подключения к PostgreSQL |
+| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | Ключ Gemini API (для распознавания блюд) |
+| `KAFKA_BROKERS` | Адреса Kafka-брокеров (по умолчанию `kafka:9092`) |
+
+**Через Docker Compose** (сервер + воркер + инфраструктура):
+
+```bash
+OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key docker compose up app worker
+```
+
+Воркеры можно масштабировать горизонтально — запустите несколько контейнеров `worker`,
+они разделят нагрузку через consumer group `dish-recognition-workers`.
