BREAKING_CHANGE(core): remove legacy forwarding module in favor of route-based system

- Removed the forwarding namespace export from main index - Removed TForwardingType and all forwarding handlers - Consolidated route helper functions into route-helpers.ts - All functionality is now available through the route-based system - Users must migrate from forwarding.* imports to direct route helper imports

 # Changelog
 ## 2025-07-22 - 21.0.0 - BREAKING_CHANGE(forwarding)
 Remove legacy forwarding module
 - Removed the `forwarding` namespace export from main index
 - Removed TForwardingType and all forwarding handlers
 - Consolidated route helper functions into route-helpers.ts
 - All functionality is now available through the route-based system
 - MIGRATION: Replace `import { forwarding } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy'` with direct imports of route helpers
 ## 2025-07-21 - 20.0.2 - fix(docs)
 Update documentation to improve clarity
