Add distribution settings for Asset Store vs git defaults

Introduce McpDistributionSettings ScriptableObject to configure different defaults for Asset Store and git distributions without code forking. Add skipSetupWindowWhenRemoteDefault flag to bypass setup wizard when shipping with hosted MCP URL. Replace hardcoded localhost:8080 defaults with configurable defaultHttpBaseUrl from distribution settings in HttpEndpointUtility and WebSocketTransportClient.
