feat: Auto-detect transport type from config files

When launching the inspector with --config, automatically set the transport
dropdown and server URL based on the config file contents. This eliminates
the need to manually switch between stdio/sse/streamable-http in the UI.

- Use discriminated union for ServerConfig to properly type different transports
- Detect transport type and URL from config, pass via query params
- Maintain backwards compatibility for configs without explicit 'type' field
- Add comprehensive tests for the new functionality

Improves UX by making the config file the single source of truth for
server settings.
