feat: add read-only mode support via GITLAB_READ_ONLY_MODE environment variable

Adds a configurable read-only mode that can be enabled by setting GITLAB_READ_ONLY_MODE=true.
When enabled, only read operations are exposed to clients, improving security for sensitive GitLab
instances. The server logs whether it's running in read-only mode and displays the count of
available tools. Also fixes stdio handling to properly support MCP protocol communication.
