Pull request overview

This PR consolidates nine existing GitHub Projects tools into three unified tools (projects_list, projects_get, projects_write) behind a feature flag. The consolidation groups related operations into method-based interfaces, reducing tool count while maintaining functionality.

Key Changes:

• Adds three new consolidated tools with method-based dispatch for listing, getting, and modifying project resources
• Marks existing nine individual project tools for disabling via feature flag
• Includes comprehensive test coverage and toolsnap documentation for the new tools

Great work @mattdholloway, I think we need to make sure the docs doesn't display stuff that is only enabled with feature flags, WDYT?

It shouldn't hide disabled with feature flags stuff, but should hide enabled with ff stuff.

Also can we consider the flow from the ADR, is there a way to pin a hold-back flag now and be like:

• once this is released you can hold back the tool with this ff and it'll be deprecated in remote server on such and such date.

We can decide whether we should do the brown out, but this is a perfect case study for how to manage this.
