<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.
