feat: Implement comprehensive MCP capabilities with tool schemas and resources

This major update brings the KiCAD MCP server to full MCP 2025-06-18 spec
compliance with proper tool schemas and resources capability.

## Dependencies Updated
- @modelcontextprotocol/sdk: 1.10.0 → 1.21.0 (critical update)
- dotenv: 16.0.3 → 17.0.0 (latest stable)
- typescript: 5.2.2 → 5.9.3
- zod: 3.22.2 → 3.25.0
- @types/node: 20.5.6 → 20.19.0
- @types/express: 5.0.1 → 5.0.5
- requests (Python): 2.31.0 → 2.32.5
- Added @cfworker/json-schema for MCP SDK compatibility

## Tool Schemas (52 tools)
Created comprehensive JSON Schema definitions for all tools organized by category:
- **Project Tools** (4): create_project, open_project, save_project, get_project_info
- **Board Tools** (9): set_board_size, add_board_outline, add_layer, etc.
- **Component Tools** (10): place_component, move_component, rotate_component, etc.
- **Routing Tools** (8): add_net, route_trace, add_via, route_differential_pair, etc.
- **Library Tools** (4): list_libraries, search_footprints, etc.
- **Design Rule Tools** (4): set_design_rules, run_drc, get_drc_violations, etc.
- **Export Tools** (5): export_gerber, export_pdf, export_svg, export_3d, export_bom
- **Schematic Tools** (6): create_schematic, add_schematic_component, etc.
- **UI Tools** (2): check_kicad_ui, launch_kicad_ui

Each tool now has:
- Detailed descriptions explaining purpose
- Complete JSON Schema for input validation
- Required/optional parameter specifications
- Type constraints and validation rules

## Resources Capability (8 resources)
Implemented MCP resources to expose project state:
- `kicad://project/current/info` - Project metadata
- `kicad://project/current/board` - Board properties
- `kicad://project/current/components` - Component list
- `kicad://project/current/nets` - Electrical nets
- `kicad://project/current/layers` - Layer stack
- `kicad://project/current/design-rules` - Design rules
- `kicad://project/current/drc-report` - DRC violations
- `kicad://board/preview.png` - Board preview image

## Protocol Compliance
- Updated initialize response with proper capabilities declaration
- Added `tools: { listChanged: true }`
- Added `resources: { subscribe: false, listChanged: true }`
- Enhanced serverInfo with title and version
- Added instructions field for user guidance
- Implemented resources/list method
- Implemented resources/read method with proper error handling
- All responses follow MCP 2025-06-18 spec exactly

## Benefits
✅ Claude/LLMs can now understand what each tool does
✅ Automatic parameter validation via JSON Schema
✅ Better error messages for invalid inputs
✅ Access to project state via resources (no need to call tools)
✅ Full MCP protocol compliance
✅ Better developer experience with latest SDK features
