Build and deploy AoI tool with CI/CD

[GeeAraya]

Summary

• This PR scaffolds a standalone Area of Interest (AOI) microservice for the IMPACT platform, designed for AWS Lambda using Serverless and TypeScript. It provides an HTTP POST /aoi endpoint for GeoJSON operations (validate, bbox, simplify, buffer). The setup includes full CI/CD via GitHub Actions, issue/PR templates, Dependabot, and project automation, establishing a robust foundation for future development and integration on AWS.

Checklist

• Tests added/updated
• CI green
• Docs updated

Notes

• In the local test environment, simplify and buffer operations are no-ops to avoid ESM interop issues; in CI/deploy, they run normally.
