 fix: store tokens in ~/.config/mcp-publisher/ instead of cwd (#1166) 
## Summary

Fixes #663

- **Security fix**: `mcp-publisher login` no longer writes
`.mcpregistry_github_token` and `.mcpregistry_registry_token` to the
current working directory. GitHub tokens are kept in memory during the
login→exchange flow and cleared immediately after.
- **Token location**: Unified token moved from `~/.mcp_publisher_token`
to `~/.config/mcp-publisher/token.json` (dir 0700, file 0600), following
the convention used by `gh`, `docker`, and `kubectl`.
- **Dead code removed**: `NeedsLogin()` was on the `Provider` interface
but never called — removed from interface and all 4 implementations.
`forceLogin` field also removed.
- **Auth tests added**: 11 new tests for `GitHubATProvider` (package
previously had 0 tests).
- **Test isolation**: `SetupTestToken` now uses `t.TempDir()` +
`t.Setenv("HOME", ...)` instead of writing to real `$HOME`.

### Breaking change

Users must re-login after upgrading (`mcp-publisher login <method>`).
Existing tokens at `~/.mcp_publisher_token` are not auto-migrated.
`logout` cleans up both old and new locations.

## Test plan

- [x] `make check` passes (lint, unit tests, integration tests)
- [x] `mcp-publisher login none` stores token at
`~/.config/mcp-publisher/token.json`
- [x] No `.mcpregistry_*` files created in cwd after login (with
`--token`, `MCP_GITHUB_TOKEN`, or device flow)
- [x] `mcp-publisher publish` reads token from new location
- [x] `mcp-publisher validate` reads registry URL from new location
- [x] `mcp-publisher logout` cleans up new location, legacy
`~/.mcp_publisher_token`, and cwd `.mcpregistry_*` files
- [x] `mcp-publisher logout` when not logged in shows "Not logged in"
- [x] File permissions: dir 0700, file 0600
