MCP-Client fuer HTTP-Server: externe Werkzeuge durch dieselben Pruefstellen (#197)

- Core/Mcp/McpClient: Streamable HTTP (MCP 2025-06-18) - initialize, tools/list
  with paging, tools/call; answers as JSON or event stream; session kept and
  opened again when the server forgets it; answers capped at 4 MB.
- McpServerTool: one server is one tool (mcp_<id>); its remote tools are the
  operations, so rights, preflight, staging, lead approvals, votes, audit and
  budget apply. On approval by default unless the human trusts an operation;
  reads foreign content; the server's descriptions are cut short and marked.
- McpConnections: registers, refreshes every 15 minutes, follows changes.
- InstanceConfig.mcpServers with protected headers; /api/mcp-servers;
  settings card "External MCP servers"; tool catalog includes the servers.
- stdio servers are not part of this (sandbox runner, separate step).
