Context

This PR adds a script to pretty print the output of the github-mcp-server log. This is useful for developers working on tools that want to see the full interaction between host and server.

This was already possible by running the server with:

--enable-command-logging --log-file server.log

However, with the introductionscript/prettyprint-log, you can do:

tail -f server.log |  script/prettyprint-log

and get a nice, pretty-printed output of all the server<->host interactions:

This new script can take a file as an argument, or read from stdin by default if none is passed. It also detect whether it's outputting to an actual terminal to enable/disable the use of colors.

As an aside note, if we end up changing the log's output format, or we want to drop the use of colors, the script can be even more simple.
