Add example servers for SEP-2053 variant patterns (#4)
Add four new example servers demonstrating different SEP-2053 variant
patterns:

- model-optimized (same tools, different descriptions per LLM family)
- trading (API versioning with deprecation lifecycle)
- research (context budget management)
- Refactor the existing variants-http example into a GitHub-style server
with custom ranking.

# Research Assistant
A variant-aware MCP server that manages context budget by providing the same research tools (`search_papers`, `get_paper`, `summarize`) at different verbosity levels.
**Pattern demonstrated:** Context budget management with description verbosity control.
## Variants
| Variant | Verbosity | Status | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| `deep-research` | Multi-paragraph with usage examples | Stable | Literature reviews, large context windows |
| `quick-lookup` | Single-sentence descriptions | Stable | Fast Q&A, limited token budgets |
| `synthesis` | Balanced, moderate detail | Experimental | Report generation workflows |
All three variants expose the same three tools with the same behavior — only the description detail level differs.
## Custom Ranking
Clients send a `"contextSize"` hint (`"verbose"`, `"compact"`, or `"standard"`). The ranking function matches the hint to the appropriate variant, falling back to priority order.
## Run
```bash
go run ./examples/server/research
```
The server listens on `http://localhost:8080`.
