Simplify seed data configuration by removing command line flags and renaming environment variable (#175)

This PR simplifies the seed data import configuration based on
maintainer feedback by removing command line flags and using a clearer
environment variable name.

## Key Changes

### Configuration Simplification
- **Renamed**: `MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FILE_PATH` → `MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FROM`
- **Removed**: `--seed-file-path` command line flag to eliminate
configuration complexity

### Improved User Experience
Users now configure seed data import using a single, clear environment
variable:

```bash
# Before (multiple ways to configure)
MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FILE_PATH=data/seed.json ./registry
./registry --seed-file-path=data/seed.json

# After (simplified single method)
MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FROM=data/seed.json ./registry
```

### Registry Composability
The composability workflow is now simplified while maintaining all
functionality:

```bash
# Start first registry with seed data
MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FROM=data/seed.json ./registry

# Start second registry importing from first via pagination
MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FROM=http://localhost:8080 ./registry
```

## Technical Implementation
- Maintains full backward compatibility for import functionality
- All existing seed data sources continue to work (local files, HTTP
URLs, registry URLs)
- Automatic pagination through `/v0/servers` endpoint remains unchanged
- Configurable delays between requests preserved

## Benefits
- **Reduced complexity**: Single configuration method instead of
multiple
- **Clearer naming**: `SEED_FROM` better describes the source of seed
data
- **Easier maintenance**: Fewer configuration paths to test and document
- **Consistent patterns**: Aligns with other environment-variable-only
configuration

All existing functionality is preserved while providing a cleaner, more
maintainable configuration interface.
