feat: implement MCP sampling for semantic search RAG (ADR-008)

Add nc_notes_semantic_search_answer tool that combines semantic search
with MCP sampling to generate natural language answers from retrieved
Nextcloud Notes. This enables Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
patterns without requiring a server-side LLM.

Key features:
- Client-side LLM generation via ctx.session.create_message()
- Graceful fallback when sampling unavailable
- Proper source citations in generated answers
- No results optimization (skips sampling when no docs found)
- Comprehensive unit and integration tests

Implementation details:
- SamplingSearchResponse model with generated_answer and sources
- Fixed prompt template with document context and citation instructions
- Model preferences hint Claude Sonnet for balanced performance
- Falls back to returning documents without answer on sampling failure

Updates:
- Add ADR-008 documenting sampling architecture decision
- Add MCP sampling pattern guidance to CLAUDE.md
- Update README.md and docs/notes.md (7 → 9 tools)
- Add 4 unit tests and 6 integration tests
