Implement Model Refactoring

<UserStory> 1957: Model Refactoring </UserStory>

UserStory #1957

<Changes>

1. Added SerializedRecords.h dependency and forward declaration for SerializedInventoryItem
   to support fixed-size record storage.

2. Replaced CSV-based serialization in InventoryItem with serialize() method returning
   SerializedInventoryItem structure.

3. Replaced CSV-based deserialization logic with deserialize() method that reconstructs
   InventoryItem directly from SerializedInventoryItem record.

4. Removed legacy CSV parsing, header generation, and exception handling tied to string-based
   serialization.

5. Updated InventoryItem class interface in InventoryItem.h to use SerializedInventoryItem
   types instead of std::string serialization APIs.
