Introduce a StorageBackend abstraction (local filesystem and S3) for
patent PDF storage. When STORAGE_BACKEND=s3, PDFs are read/written via
boto3 to an S3-compatible bucket instead of the local filesystem.
- Add SPARC/storage.py with LocalStorageBackend and S3StorageBackend
- Update serp_api.py save_patents and parse_patent_pdf to use storage
- Add storage config vars to config.py and .env.example
- Add optional MinIO service to docker-compose.yml (--profile s3)
- Add boto3 to requirements.txt
