docs(README): add MCP server bullet to capabilities list

Browse Source 
The README's 'What it does' section enumerated 11 capability bullets
(issuers / targets / ACME server / SCEP server / EST server /
hierarchy / approvals / discovery / revocation / alerts) but had
zero mention of the MCP server. The 2026-05-05 CLI/API/MCP ↔ GUI
parity audit confirmed 93 MCP tools shipped today (87 in
internal/mcp/tools.go + 6 in internal/mcp/tools_est.go) covering the
full API surface. That's a real differentiator hidden from anyone
landing on the README.

Adds a 12th bullet positioning the MCP server with concrete example
queries operators can ask their AI client (expiring certs, revoke
with key-compromise reason, agent offline check). Frames the
architectural facts: separate binary at cmd/mcp-server/, stateless
stdio transport, no extra auth surface beyond the existing API key,
no extra attack surface.

Links to docs/reference/mcp.md for setup details.

- **Drive the platform from natural language** via the bundled MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. The full REST API is exposed as MCP tools — ask your AI client "show me all expiring certificates", "revoke the VPN cert, key compromised", or "what agents are offline?" and it translates to API calls. Stateless stdio-transport binary at `cmd/mcp-server/`; same auth as the REST API; no extra attack surface. See [`docs/reference/mcp.md`](docs/reference/mcp.md).
