Develop (#9)

* Refactor carbon-server service in docker-compose.yml to use pre-built image and remove unnecessary build context and volume mounts * Enhance performance and security features: - Update compiler flags for better optimization and security. - Implement MIME type caching for improved response handling. - Introduce worker thread pool for efficient connection management. - Optimize socket settings for low latency and enhanced performance. - Add support for CPU affinity in worker threads. - Implement graceful shutdown for worker threads during cleanup.
