feat(mcp): register loopover_get_automation_state as a local stdio tool

loopover_get_automation_state is a remote MCP tool (src/mcp/server.ts) and
has a CLI mirror (maintain automation-state), but no local stdio MCP tool
registration existed in packages/loopover-mcp/bin/loopover-mcp.ts -- so a
self-host operator on the local MCP server could not call it. #6742 added
the REST route + CLI subcommand but never the matching stdio registration.

Register it following the exact pattern of its five #6382 siblings: a
STDIO_TOOL_DESCRIPTORS entry (category 'agent', mirroring the remote tool)
plus a registerStdioTool block that reuses the same GET {repoBase}/
automation-state call the maintain CLI already makes, via ownerRepoShape
and toolRepoBase. No HTTP logic is duplicated.

Tests: add it to the maintain stdio-proxy suite (proxy + API-failure cases,
auto-covered by the existing MAINTAIN_TOOLS loop) and bump the discovery
tool-count invariant from 87 to 88.

Closes #7752
