Add System Architecture Documentation for Bifrost

This PR adds comprehensive system architecture documentation for Bifrost, a high-performance middleware gateway to multiple AI model providers. The documentation covers:

  • Core architecture principles including asynchronous request processing, memory pool management, provider isolation, and plugin-first design
  • Detailed component architecture with diagrams for request flow, memory management, and worker pools
  • High-performance features including connection pooling, dynamic key management, fallback systems, and plugin architecture
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for external tool capabilities
  • Performance benchmarks and scaling configuration examples
  • Multi-provider support details for 8 AI model providers
  • Network and security features including proxy support and API key rotation
  • Transport layer architecture with HTTP, Go SDK, and planned future transports
  • Configuration management and error handling patterns
  • Development and extension guidelines

The documentation is designed to help users understand how Bifrost achieves its 10,000+ RPS performance target through sophisticated concurrency management, memory optimization, and connection pooling strategies.

Poem

In Bifrost’s halls, the packets race,
Through channels swift, they find their place.
Plugins hop in, with clever cheer,
While memory pools keep pathways clear.
Providers line up, keys in hand—
A rabbit’s dream, so well planned!
Scalability leaps across the land. 🐇✨
