Add remaining CLI flags for the server published on official mcp registry.

ref: https://googleapis.github.io/genai-toolbox/reference/cli/

note: mcp registry do not support shorthand flag (there are no options to defined an alternate name). The only way is to define them as separate named arguments but it may not work well since both would try to set the same underlying value.

Summary of Changes

Hello @Yuan325, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly expands the command-line interface for the genai-toolbox server by incorporating a comprehensive set of new flags. These additions enhance the server's configurability, offering greater control over tool loading, logging formats, telemetry integration, and overall operational behavior, aligning with the official MCP registry specifications.

Highlights

  • Tool Configuration Flags: Added new CLI flags, --tools-files and --tools-folder, to allow for more flexible specification of tool configurations from multiple files or an entire directory.
  • Logging and Server Behavior Control: Introduced --logging-format for choosing between standard and JSON logging, and --disable-reload to control dynamic reloading of tool files. Flags like --stdio for MCP STDIO listening and --ui for launching the web server were also added.
  • Telemetry Integration: Implemented several telemetry-related flags, including --telemetry-gcp for Google Cloud Monitoring, --telemetry-otlp for OpenTelemetry Protocol, and --telemetry-service-name to customize service identification.
  • General Utility Flags: Standard command-line utility flags --help and --version have been added for better user experience and information retrieval.
