Matthew Raymer 5ecde954b7 docs: improve documentation across WebPushService class
Comprehensive documentation update focusing on clarity and completeness while
maintaining technical accuracy. Key improvements include:

- Add detailed module-level documentation with features and dependencies
- Enhance class-level documentation with responsibilities and endpoints
- Improve method documentation with:
  - Clear workflow descriptions
  - Technical implementation details
  - Security considerations
  - Database impacts
  - Error handling specifics
  - Usage examples
  - Return type clarification
  - Thread safety notes

Technical Changes:
- Replace print statements with structured logging using structlog
- Add specific error handling for SQLAlchemy and cryptography exceptions
- Add type hints and improve return type annotations

Security:
- Document authentication requirements
- Add security considerations sections
- Clarify VAPID key handling
- Document input validation

Dependencies:
- Add structlog>=24.1.0 to requirements.txt

This improves code maintainability and helps future developers understand
the system's security and operational characteristics.
