feat(assistant): apply maxTimeMS to database tools COMPASS-10235

Description

This PR ensures that database tools invoked by the assistant respect the maxTimeMS setting configured in Compass.

The ToolsController now retrieves the maxTimeMS from Compass preferences and passes it via the x-compass-maxtimems header during tool invocation. To enable the mongodb-mcp-server to utilize this, the package has been upgraded to 1.7.0 and patched. The patch modifies the find and aggregate tools within the MCP server to read and apply the maxTimeMS value from the requestInfo.headers. A postinstall script has been added to automatically apply this patch.

Motivation and Context

This change is required to prevent long-running operations initiated by the assistant's database tools. By applying the default or configured maxTimeMS from Compass, we align the assistant's behavior with the rest of Compass/DE, improving user experience and preventing unintended resource consumption.
