Refactor to use LiteLLM Responses API for automatic MCP tool execution

Major refactoring to properly integrate with LiteLLM's Responses API, which handles
MCP tool execution automatically instead of requiring manual tool call loops.

Key changes:
- Switched from chat.completions.create() to client.responses.create()
- Use "server_url": "litellm_proxy" to leverage LiteLLM as MCP gateway
- Set "require_approval": "never" for fully automatic tool execution
- Simplified get_available_mcp_tools() to get_available_mcp_servers()
- Removed manual OpenAI tool format conversion (LiteLLM handles this)
- Updated response extraction to use output[0].content[0].text format
- Convert system prompts to user role for Responses API compatibility

Technical improvements:
- LiteLLM now handles the complete tool calling loop automatically
- No more placeholder responses - actual MCP tools will execute
- Cleaner code with ~100 fewer lines
- Better separation between tools-enabled and tools-disabled paths
- Proper error handling for Responses API format

Responses API benefits:
- Single API call returns final response with tool results integrated
- Automatic tool discovery, execution, and result formatting
- No manual tracking of tool_call_ids or conversation state
- Native MCP support via server_label configuration

Documentation:
- Added comprehensive litellm-mcp-research.md with API examples
- Documented Responses API vs chat.completions differences
- Included Discord bot migration patterns
- Covered authentication, streaming, and tool restrictions

Next steps:
- Test with actual Discord interactions
- Verify GitHub MCP tools execute correctly
- Monitor response extraction for edge cases
