Harden MCP tool parameter handling + add material workflow tests (TDD) (#343)

* Add TDD tests for MCP material management issues - MCPMaterialTests.cs: Tests for material creation, assignment, and data reading - MCPParameterHandlingTests.cs: Tests for JSON parameter parsing issues - SphereMaterialWorkflowTests.cs: Tests for complete sphere material workflow These tests document the current issues with: - JSON parameter parsing in manage_asset and manage_gameobject tools - Material creation with properties - Material assignment to GameObjects - Material component data reading All tests currently fail (Red phase of TDD) and serve as specifications for what needs to be fixed in the MCP system. * Refine TDD tests to focus on actual MCP tool parameter parsing issues - Removed redundant tests that verify working functionality (GameObjectSerializer, Unity APIs) - Kept focused tests that document the real issue: MCP tool parameter validation - Tests now clearly identify the root cause: JSON string parsing in MCP tools - Tests specify exactly what needs to be fixed: parameter type flexibility The issue is NOT in Unity APIs or serialization (which work fine), but in MCP tool parameter validation being too strict. * Fix port discovery protocol mismatch - Update _try_probe_unity_mcp to recognize Unity bridge welcome message - Unity bridge sends 'WELCOME UNITY-MCP' instead of JSON pong response - Maintains backward compatibility with JSON pong format - Fixes MCP server connection to Unity Editor * Resolve merge: unify manage_gameobject param coercion and schema widening * Tests: add MaterialParameterToolTests; merge port probe fix; widen tool schemas for JSON-string params * refactor: extract JSON coercion helper; docs + exception narrowing\nfix: fail fast on bad component_properties JSON\ntest: unify setup, avoid test-to-test calls\nchore: use relative MCP package path * chore(tests): track MCPToolParameterTests.cs.meta to keep GUID stable * test: decouple MaterialParameterToolTests with helpers (no inter-test calls)
