Hermes Agent 6030ca8cea fix(mcp): follow nextCursor pagination in tools/resources/prompts discovery
Port from anomalyco/opencode#35439/#35500: preserve full MCP catalogs
across paginated tools/list responses.

The MCP spec allows servers to paginate tools/list, resources/list, and
prompts/list via an opaque nextCursor token. The Python SDK's
ClientSession.list_* methods fetch exactly one page per call, and hermes
never passed the cursor back — on a paginated server every tool,
resource, and prompt past page 1 was silently invisible to the agent.

Adds _paginate_full_list() (cursor-draining helper with a 50-page
runaway cap and spec-correct opaque-string cursor validation) and
applies it at all three discovery sites: _discover_tools(), the
tools/list_changed refresh handler, and the list_resources/list_prompts
utility handlers. The keepalive probe intentionally keeps its
single-page call (liveness only).

E2E: real stdio MCP server serving 3 pages (2/1/1 tools) — old code
discovered 2 tools, new code discovers all 4.

"""Tests for MCP list_* pagination (nextCursor draining).
The MCP spec allows servers to paginate ``tools/list``, ``resources/list``,
and ``prompts/list`` via an opaque ``nextCursor`` token. The Python SDK
fetches one page per call, so hermes must follow the cursor to see items
past page 1. Port of the invariant behind anomalyco/opencode#35439/#35500.
