CORENET-7135: Add OVS layer tools into openshift-mcp-server

[taanyas]

Stacked on top of #315 (ovn-kubernetes toolset skeleton). The first commit is for toolset skeleton, the second commit adds the OVS layer.

Adds 7 OVS tools to the ovn-kubernetes toolset:

• ovs_vsctl_show
• ovs_list_br
• ovs_list_ports
• ovs_list_ifaces
• ovs_ofctl_dump_flows
• ovs_appctl_dump_conntrack
• ovs_appctl_ofproto_trace

Verified locally:

• make build clean, make test passes
• MCP Inspector: all 7 tools registered with correct schemas
• End-to-end against an OVN-Kubernetes KIND cluster: ovs_list_br returns the expected bridges.

TODO before ready-for-review:

• Restructure based on final design — likely splitting tools into subgroups (e.g. vsctl tools vs ofctl/appctl tools) rather than one flat tools.go. Open to feedback on the right grouping.
• Evals
• Align param name filter → pattern with upstream
• Rebase once CORENET-7134: Add ovn-kubernetes toolset skeleton #315 merges (will dedupe shared vendor automatically)
