feat: add CORS support to registry API (#711)

Fixes #710

This PR adds CORS middleware to enable browser-based clients and web
applications to access the registry API.

## Changes

- Add CORSMiddleware in internal/api/cors.go to handle preflight OPTIONS
requests and inject CORS headers
- Integrate CORS middleware into the server middleware stack
- Add CORS configuration options (CORS_ENABLED and CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGIN)

## Testing

- All existing tests pass
- Manual testing confirms CORS headers are present in responses
- OPTIONS preflight requests now return 204 with proper headers

## Configuration

New environment variables:
- MCP_REGISTRY_CORS_ENABLED (default: true)
- MCP_REGISTRY_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGIN (default: *)
