feat: add LiteLLM MCP server

Add a standalone MCP server that exposes LiteLLM's core functionality
as MCP tools, allowing AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) to
call LLMs through LiteLLM's unified API.

Tools exposed:
- litellm_chat_completion: Chat with any LLM (100+ providers)
- litellm_embedding: Generate embeddings
- litellm_image_generation: Generate images
- litellm_text_completion: Text completions
- litellm_transcription: Audio transcription
- litellm_rerank: Document reranking
- litellm_list_models: List available models

Supports stdio (default, for Claude Desktop/Cursor) and HTTP transports.

CLI entry point: litellm-mcp-server
