What does this PR do?
This PR implements end-to-end MCPB (MCP Bundle) packaging and signing infrastructure using Microsoft's ESRP (Enterprise Signing and Release Pipeline) service. MCPB is a standardized bundle format for distributing MCP servers, similar to Chrome extensions (.crx) or VS Code extensions (.vsix).
