feat: add server.schema.json for MCP registry schema versioning (#1)
Add JSON schema file for MCP server.json format to enable schema versioning and IDE support. This schema will be served at https://static.modelcontextprotocol.io/schemas/2025-07-09/server.schema.json to support the $schema property added in modelcontextprotocol/registry#308.

The hosted schema enables:
- Self-describing server.json files
- IDE validation and autocomplete
- Version tracking for schema evolution
- Better tooling integration

Supports modelcontextprotocol/registry#308
