feat(backend): Implement Story 5.6 - Resource Registration & Discovery

Implemented pluggable resource registration and auto-discovery mechanism for MCP Resources.

Changes:
- Enhanced McpResourceDescriptor with metadata (Category, Version, Parameters, Examples, Tags, IsEnabled)
- Created ResourceDiscoveryService for Assembly scanning and auto-discovery
- Updated McpResourceRegistry with category support and grouping methods
- Enhanced ResourcesListMethodHandler to return categorized resources with full metadata
- Created ResourceHealthCheckHandler for resource availability verification
- Updated all existing Resources (Projects, Issues, Sprints, Users) with Categories and Versions
- Updated McpServiceExtensions to use auto-discovery at startup
- Added comprehensive unit tests for discovery and health check

Features:
✅ New Resources automatically discovered via Assembly scanning
✅ Resources organized by category (Projects, Issues, Sprints, Users)
✅ Rich metadata for documentation (parameters, examples, tags)
✅ Health check endpoint (resources/health) for monitoring
✅ Thread-safe registry operations
