* security: ignore client roots by default in pdf-server
When the pdf-server is started with --stdio, MCP clients may advertise
roots that refer to directories on the *client's* file system. Because
the server resolves those paths locally, accepting them by default would
give the remote client access to arbitrary directories on the server's
machine.
This commit makes client roots opt-in via the --use-client-roots flag.
Without the flag, the server logs a notice and skips roots setup
entirely. The createServer() function now accepts a CreateServerOptions
object with a `useClientRoots` boolean (defaults to false).

* Enable client roots by default for HTTP, keep off for stdio
HTTP mode serves a local client so roots are safe. Stdio mode may
have a remote client whose roots would resolve against the server's
filesystem, so roots stay off unless --use-client-roots is passed.

* fix: correct transport-aware defaults for useClientRoots
stdio = local client (e.g. Claude Desktop) → auto-enable roots
HTTP = remote client → ignore roots unless --use-client-roots passed
The previous commit had the logic inverted.

* refactor: inline useClientRoots per transport branch
Remove the intermediate effectiveUseClientRoots variable — just pass
`true` in the stdio branch and the flag value in the HTTP branch.

* docs: update README to match transport-aware client roots defaults
Stdio always enables roots (client is local); HTTP ignores them by
default. The previous README text had these reversed.
