jedarden c4ff5194dd feat(pdftract-67tm8): implement MCP stdio transport with integration tests
Implements the stdio transport for the MCP server, enabling communication
with local agents (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Continue, Cursor) over
standard input/output with Content-Length framing.

Core features:
- LSP-style Content-Length framing with \r\n terminators
- JSON-RPC 2.0 message parsing and serialization
- INV-9 compliance: stdout contains only JSON-RPC frames
- Panic hook redirects panics to stderr
- SIGTERM handler for graceful shutdown
- Parse errors return -32700 with id: null, then continue

Acceptance criteria:
-  Piping tools/list with framing produces expected response < 50ms
-  EOF on stdin → clean exit within 100ms
-  Malformed JSON → -32700 error, subsequent requests work
-  No println!/log output to stdout (INV-9 enforced)
-  Panics go to stderr, no partial JSON on stdout
-  SIGTERM → exit 0, SIGINT → immediate non-zero exit

Tests added:
- crates/pdftract-cli/tests/mcp-stdio.rs (8 integration tests, all pass)
- All 49 existing unit tests continue to pass

//! Integration tests for MCP stdio transport.
//!
//! These tests verify that the pdftract CLI correctly implements the
//! MCP stdio transport specification, including:
//! - Content-Length framing
//! - JSON-RPC 2.0 message handling
//! - INV-9 compliance (stdout contains only JSON-RPC frames)
//! - Proper signal handling and shutdown
