Tommaso Moro 3b8ff504c0 Add fields param to search_code and get_file_contents (#2775)
* Add fields param to search_code and get_file_contents

Add an optional `fields` array parameter to the `search_code` and
`get_file_contents` tools so callers can request only the fields they
need, reducing tool response size and context usage.

- search_code: filters each result item to the selected fields while
  preserving the total_count / incomplete_results wrapper.
- get_file_contents: filters each directory entry when listing a
  directory; ignored for single-file responses.

Adds shared filterFields / filterEachField helpers and per-tool field
enums, plus unit tests and regenerated toolsnaps and docs.

* Gate fields param behind fields_param flag and add usage telemetry

Register search_code and get_file_contents as two mutually exclusive
variants gated by the new `fields_param` feature flag, following the
existing dual-variant flag pattern:

- The flag-enabled variant advertises the optional `fields` parameter and
  filters each result to the requested subset. It owns the
  `<tool>_ff_fields_param` toolsnap.
- The Legacy* variant exposes the original schema with no `fields`
  parameter and never filters, acting as a kill switch when the flag is
  off. It owns the canonical toolsnap.

Add best-effort, low-cardinality telemetry at each tool's filter point to
measure adoption and realized savings:

- `mcp.fields.tool_call` (increment) tagged by tool and whether the
  response was filtered.
- `mcp.fields.bytes_full` / `bytes_sent` / `bytes_saved` (counters) tagged
  by tool, emitted only when a response was filtered.

Tags are limited to `tool` and `filtered` to bound cardinality; repo,
owner, user, query, and the requested field list are never tagged. The
local server discards these via the noop metrics sink, while hosted
deployments inject a real sink. Metrics accessors now fall back to a noop
sink when no exporter is configured so emitting telemetry never panics.

* Drop mcp.fields.bytes_saved metric

Remove the mcp.fields.bytes_saved counter. It is derivable on the
dashboard from the two remaining byte counters, since
sum(bytes_full) - sum(bytes_sent) equals the total saved at any rollup,
so emitting it separately is redundant. Keeping only bytes_full and
bytes_sent shrinks the emitted telemetry surface.
