## Summary
### Read (issue responses)
- Add `ref` (branch) field to issue responses when non-empty
- Add `deadline` (due_date) field to issue responses when non-nil
- Applied to `slimIssue()`, `slimIssues()` in `operation/issue/slim.go` and `slimIssues()` in `operation/search/slim.go`
### Write (issue_write)
- Add `ref` parameter to `issue_write` tool for both `create` and `update` methods
- Allows setting the branch reference on issues via the MCP, consistent with the SDK's `CreateIssueOption.Ref` and `EditIssueOption.Ref` fields
Fixes#168
## Test plan
- [ ] `go test ./...` passes
- [ ] Verify `issue_read` returns `ref` when a branch is assigned to an issue
- [ ] Verify `issue_read` returns `deadline` when a due date is set
- [ ] Verify `list_issues` and `search_issues` include these fields
- [ ] Verify `issue_write` with method `update` can set `ref` on an issue
- [ ] Verify `issue_write` with method `create` can set `ref` on a new issue

Add three new read-only tools inspired by the GitHub MCP server:
- `get_commit`: Get details of a specific commit by SHA, branch, or tag
- `get_repository_tree`: Get the file tree of a repository with optional recursive traversal, pagination, and ref support
- `search_issues`: Search issues and pull requests across all accessible repositories with filters for state, type, labels, and owner

Reduce token usage by slimming tool responses. Instead of returning full Gitea SDK objects (with nested user/repo objects, avatars, permissions, etc.), each operation now has a colocated `slim.go` that extracts only the fields an LLM needs. List endpoints return even fewer fields than single-item endpoints.
Other changes:
- Add `params` helpers to DRY parameter extraction across 40+ handlers
- Remove `{"Result": ...}` wrapper for flatter responses
- Reduce default pageSize from 100 to 30
