feat: Implement plugin system for archivists' parsers

This commit introduces a flexible plugin system for archivists' parsers,
allowing new parsers to be registered dynamically. The system utilizes an
initialization function that registers parsers via a `Register` function. The
primary changes include:

- Creation of `parser_registry.go` to handle parser registration and storage.
- Modification of `parserstorer.go` to integrate the new parser registration
  system and utilize registered parsers during attestation storage.

This system enhances the extensibility of the parser functionality and improves
maintainability by decoupling the parser registration from the core logic.

Changes:
- Added `internal/metadatastorage/attestationcollection/parser_registry.go` for
  parser registration.
- Updated `internal/metadatastorage/attestationcollection/parserstorer.go` to
  support the new plugin system.
