Additional context

N/A

Adds new MCP tool to list releases for a GitHub repository with:
- Release and asset schemas in types.ts
- List releases operation implementation
- Tool registration in index.ts
Adds new MCP tool to get only the latest release for a repository:
- GetLatestRelease schema and type
- Latest release operation implementation
- Tool registration in index.ts

This helps reduce context sizes by providing a focused way to get just the latest release data.
Adds optional includeAssets parameter (default: false) to both release tools:
- Modified GitHubReleaseSchema to make assets optional
- Added includeAssets option to ListReleasesOptions and GetLatestReleaseOptions
- Updated functions to strip assets when not requested

This helps further reduce response sizes when asset data isn't needed.
Adds documentation for new GitHub release tools:
- Updated Features section to highlight release management
- Added list_releases and get_latest_release tool documentation
- Included details about optional asset inclusion
