Fix exception handler overlap issue - add DomainError catch-all handler

**Problem:** Broad exception handlers created fragility where adding a new
DomainError subclass without explicit registration would silently fall through
to the generic exception handler, losing the specific error_code and metadata.

**Solution:**
1. Import DomainError in main.py for explicit handler registration
2. Fix type hints in exception handlers from 'Exception' to specific types
   - NotFoundError handler now typed as 'NotFoundError'
   - BadRequestError handler now typed as 'BadRequestError'
   - ConflictError handler now typed as 'ConflictError'
   - DomainError handler now typed as 'DomainError'
   - ServiceUnavailableError handler now typed as 'ServiceUnavailableError'
3. Add DomainError as an explicit catch-all handler in the registration chain
   - Positioned after specific handlers, before HTTPException
   - Any unregistered DomainError subclass now gets correct error_code + metadata
4. Document the exception handler hierarchy with detailed comments
5. Update Backend-Development.md with handler hierarchy documentation
6. Update Architekture.md section 2.2 with exception handler details
7. Fix test expectations in test_main.py to verify ErrorResponse format

**Impact:** Any new DomainError subclass now automatically gets correct HTTP 500
status, error_code, and metadata - even if developer forgets explicit handler.

# Exception handlers are registered from most specific to least specific. FastAPI evaluates

# The hierarchy (in order) is:
# 1. Network-specific errors (Fail2BanConnectionError, Fail2BanProtocolError) → HTTP 502
# 2. Auth/rate-limit errors (AuthenticationError, RateLimitError) → HTTP 401/429
# 3. Category handlers (NotFoundError, BadRequestError, ConflictError) → HTTP 404/400/409
# 4. OperationError handler → HTTP 500
# 5. ServiceUnavailableError handler → HTTP 503
