Add Context Gateway

Put the MCP servers an existing agent uses behind one Redis Iris Context Gateway with redis-iris, so the agent connects to one MCP endpoint with one agent key instead of configuring each server and its secret. Asks whether the Gateway is in Redis Cloud or self-managed, then five questions (which MCP servers and secrets the agent has today, how many tools it sees, which read-only tools may be cached, which tools return large results, whether the framework speaks MCP itself). Self-managed, it provisions the Gateway and its Upstreams from the terminal with `iris context-gateway` and sets cache and compression policies. In Redis Cloud the developer creates them in the console. Then it points the agent at the Gateway in any framework and verifies it with `tools list` and `tools call`. Use when the agent configures several MCP servers one by one, carries one secret per server, loads too many tool schemas into the prompt, or the user asks for Context Gateway, one MCP endpoint, tool caching, or result handles.
