✨ Add Superhero Domain and DDD Patterns (#277)

* Started on new hero domain model

* Tidied up base classes

* Updated readme

* Added migration for new Domain models

* Added DDD adr

* Tidied up current mission

* Updated domain model

* Added DB diagram

* Domain is easier to click

* Added descriptions to common base classes and interfaces

* Temporarily remove test

* Fix arch tests

* Removed unneeded interface

* Capture properties when event is raised

* Tidied up aggregate root interface

* Fixed arch tests

* Update src/Infrastructure/Persistence/Configuration/HeroConfiguration.cs

Co-authored-by: Chris Clement [SSW] <[email protected]>

* Configuration: Remove TODOs

* Renamed Strength to PowerLevel

* Update ADR

* Add TODO: to DB Context Configurations' marker

* Update database.png with new Heroes PowerLevel name

+# Use Domain-Driven Design Tactical Patterns
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Deciders: Daniel Mackay, Matt Goldman, Matt Wicks, Luke Parker, Chris Clement
+- Date: 2024-04-04
+- Tags: ddd
+
+Technical Story: https://github.com/SSWConsulting/SSW.CleanArchitecture/issues/283
+
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+The current Clean Architecture framework relies on an anemic domain model, which simplifies initial development but increasingly hampers our ability to handle the complex interactions and business logic inherent in our domain. By incorporating Domain-Driven Design (DDD), projects with non-trivial logic can better accommodate complex workflows and business rule integrations without compromising maintainability or scalability.
+
+We would like to default to using DDD in the template and provide a good example of building applications in that manner.
+
+
+## Considered Options
+
+1. Anemic Domain Model
+2. Rich Domain Model with DDD
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: "Option 2 - Rich Domain Model with DDD", because it helps set developers up for success when building complex applications. It's easier to go from a rich domain model to an anemic domain model than the other way around.
+
+### Consequences <!-- optional -->
+
+- Need to create a new Domain model to show the usefulness of DDD. This will require most layers to be rebuilt.
+
+## Pros and Cons of the Options <!-- optional -->
+
+### Option 1 - Anemic Domain Model
+
+- ✅ Simplier for trivial applications
+- ❌ Difficult to upgrade to use DDD patterns
+
+### Option 2 - Rich Domain Model with DDD
+
+- ✅ Easy to migrate to an anemic domain model if needed
+- ✅ More flexible for complex applications
+- ❌ Overkill for trivial applications
+- ❌ More complex to understand
