feat(mcp): Implement MCP protocol and enhance server capabilities

This commit introduces several significant enhancements to the Crawl4AI Docker deployment:

  1. Add MCP Protocol Support:
     - Implement WebSocket and SSE transport layers for MCP server communication
     - Create mcp_bridge.py to expose existing API endpoints via MCP protocol
     - Add comprehensive tests for both socket and SSE transport methods

  2. Enhance Docker Server Capabilities:
     - Add PDF generation endpoint with file saving functionality
     - Add screenshot capture endpoint with configurable wait time
     - Implement JavaScript execution endpoint for dynamic page interaction
     - Add intelligent file path handling for saving generated assets

  3. Improve Search and Context Functionality:
     - Implement syntax-aware code function chunking using AST parsing
     - Add BM25-based intelligent document search with relevance scoring
     - Create separate code and documentation context endpoints
     - Enhance response format with structured results and scores

  4. Rename and Fix File Organization:
     - Fix typo in test_docker_config_gen.py filename
     - Update import statements and dependencies
     - Add FileResponse for context endpoints

  This enhancement significantly improves the machine-to-machine communication
  capabilities of Crawl4AI, making it more suitable for integration with LLM agents
  and other automated systems.

  The CHANGELOG update has been applied successfully, highlighting the key features and improvements made in this release. The commit message provides a detailed explanation of all the
  changes, which will be helpful for tracking the project's evolution.
