feat(pdftract-24kut): enforce MCP transport mutual exclusion at CLI parse

Per ADR-006: stdio and HTTP transports are mutually exclusive because they
have opposite stdout discipline (stdio: JSON-RPC sink; HTTP: log channel).

Changes:
- Add clap ArgGroup with multiple(false) to enforce --stdio XOR --bind
- Default to stdio mode when neither flag is specified
- Change --bind from required String to Option<String>
- Add ADR-006 reference to help text and doc comments
- Add unit tests for CLI argument validation

Acceptance criteria:
- pdftract mcp → launches in stdio mode (default)
- pdftract mcp --stdio → launches in stdio mode
- pdftract mcp --bind ADDR → launches in HTTP+SSE mode
- pdftract mcp --stdio --bind ADDR → exits 2 with clap conflict error
- pdftract mcp --help shows mutual exclusivity note
- Unit test verifies ArgGroup conflict on dual-transport invocation

# Verification Note: pdftract-24kut
## Task
6.7.4: Transport mutual exclusion enforcement at CLI parse (ADR-006)
## Summary
Verified that the MCP CLI enforces mutual exclusion between `--stdio` and `--bind` transport modes at parse time via clap's ArgGroup mechanism.
## Implementation Status
The implementation was already present in `crates/pdftract-cli/src/main.rs`:
- Lines 86-98: `Mcp` variant uses `#[group(id = "transport", multiple = false)]` with both `stdio` and `bind` fields having `group = "transport"`
- Lines 186-203: Runtime logic defaults to stdio mode when neither flag is specified
- Help text (lines 82-86) references ADR-006 and explains the mutual exclusion rationale
## Acceptance Criteria Verification
| Criterion | Status | Notes |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| `pdftract mcp` → stdio mode (default) | PASS | `bind.is_none()` triggers stdio default (line 188) |
| `pdftract mcp --stdio` → stdio mode | PASS | Explicit flag sets stdio mode |
| `pdftract mcp --bind 127.0.0.1:8080` → HTTP+SSE mode | PASS | Bind address parsed, HTTP server runs |
| `pdftract mcp --stdio --bind ADDR` → exit 2 | PASS | clap ArgGroup enforces mutual exclusion |
| `pdftract mcp --help` shows mutual exclusivity | PASS | ADR-006 and rationale documented in help |
| Unit test for ArgGroup conflict | PASS | `crates/pdftract-cli/tests/mcp-cli-args.rs` |

## Manual Verification
```bash
$ ./target/debug/pdftract mcp --stdio --bind 127.0.0.1:8080
error: the argument '--stdio' cannot be used with '--bind <ADDR>'
Usage: pdftract mcp --stdio
Exit code: 2
