WHY are these changes introduced?
This change introduces a local MCP server to facilitate interaction with the Shopify CLI.
This is a draft for now as we evaluate the value of a local MCP server vs just a Skill (or both) to facilitate AI agents developing Shopify Themes (and Apps, for that matter).
WHAT is this pull request doing?
The pull request implements a local MCP server that registers tools for authentication and command execution, facilitating the CLI's usability for LLM agents.
The MCP tools are generic enough so that they're not tightly coupled to each individual CLI command while having sensible guardrails and patterns for auth, command discovery and usage by an LLM.
