Implement distributed synchronization features

- Added a sync manager to handle distributed synchronization across relay peers, initialized in the main application run function.
- Enhanced the event handling to update the serial number for synchronization when events are processed.
- Introduced new API endpoints for synchronization, allowing peers to fetch the current serial number and events within a specified range.
- Implemented peer request validation for synchronization endpoints to ensure authorized access based on NIP-98 authentication.
- Updated configuration to support relay peers for synchronization.
- Bumped version to v0.24.0 to reflect these changes.
