ByteBard 70c0be6fd0 Fix MCP protocol compliance and Windows compatibility
This commit fixes two critical issues for MCP STDIO transport:

1. Logger fix (src/logger.ts) - CRITICAL MCP protocol compliance
   - Change all log levels to use console.error() (stderr) exclusively
   - Previous code sent info/debug logs to stdout via console.log()
   - MCP protocol uses stdout for JSON-RPC messages
   - Logging to stdout corrupts protocol communication
   - Impact: Prevents intermittent MCP failures from log pollution

2. Windows compatibility fix (src/index.ts)
   - Remove import.meta.url conditional check that fails on Windows
   - Path separator differences (forward slash vs backslash) cause
     the file:// URL comparison to fail
   - Server now runs main() unconditionally as intended
   - Impact: Reliable server startup on Windows

Changes:
- src/logger.ts: Use console.error() for all log levels
- src/index.ts: Remove 'if (import.meta.url === ...)' check
- src/index.ts: Add explanatory comment about Windows issue

Tested on Windows 11 with KiCAD 9.0.6.
Integration tests confirm 36KB logs to stderr, 0 bytes to stdout.

Fixes: MCP protocol corruption, Windows startup failures
