feat: add MCP prompts capability

[zereight]

Summary

• Adds MCP prompts capability with three static prompts: review_merge_request, triage_pipeline_failure, triage_vulnerabilities — each wraps a multi-step tool workflow already documented in skills/gitlab-mcp/.
• Follow-up to the competitive research in docs/comparison/community-gitlab-mcp-a.md: some community servers (e.g. python-gitlab-mcp) expose MCP prompts/resources as first-class primitives, not just tools. This PR covers prompts; resources is left as a follow-up since the npm package only ships build/ (not skills/), so resource content would need to be embedded or the packaging changed.

Test plan

• npx tsc --noEmit passes
• Manual check with an MCP client that lists/renders prompts (e.g. prompts/list then prompts/get for each of the three)

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added reusable prompts for merge request reviews, pipeline failure triage, and vulnerability triage.
  • Prompts accept supplied arguments to generate customized user messages.
  • Added prompt discovery and retrieval support so available prompts can be viewed and selected.
  • Unknown prompt requests now return a clear error message, improving feedback when an unavailable option is requested.

Walkthrough

The MCP server now advertises three static prompts for merge request review, pipeline failure triage, and vulnerability triage. It lists prompt metadata and renders prompt messages from supplied arguments. Unknown prompt names return an error.

Changes

MCP prompt support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Static prompt catalog index.ts	Defines prompts for merge request review, pipeline failure triage, and vulnerability triage. Each prompt includes argument metadata and rendered instructions.
