Subject: [PATCH] refactor(@angular/cli): use `serveStdio` to support both 2025
 and 2026-07-28 MCP protocol eras

Replace direct `StdioServerTransport` connection in `cli.ts` with `serveStdio` from `@modelcontextprotocol/server/stdio`.

`serveStdio` supports both the 2025-era protocol (`initialize` handshake) and the 2026-07-28 protocol revision over stdio on the same endpoint, automatically negotiating the era for each connection.
