docs: Update nuget/README.md with MCP endpoint and comprehensive content (#3475)
## Why make this change?
`nuget/README.md` (the README shown on the NuGet package page) was
minimal and stale — it described only REST and GraphQL, omitted the MCP
endpoint entirely and other content present in the root `README.md`.
## What is this change?
Rewrote `nuget/README.md` to match the quality and completeness of the
root `README.md`, adapted for the NuGet context:
- **Badges** — docs link, license
- **About** — updated to cover REST, GraphQL, and MCP endpoints
- **Features** — added MCP section: DML tools, custom tools via stored
procedures, configurable path (`/mcp` default), AI client compatibility
(GitHub Copilot, Azure AI Foundry)
- **Resources** — aligned with root README; links use absolute GitHub
URLs
## How was this tested?
- [ ] Integration Tests
- [ ] Unit Tests
Documentation-only change; no code logic modified.

With data API builder, database objects can be exposed via REST or GraphQL endpoints so that your data can be accessed using modern techniques on any platform, any language, and any device. With an integrated and flexible policy engine, native support for common behavior like pagination, filtering, projection and sorting, the creation of CRUD backend services can be done in minutes instead of hours or days, giving developers an efficiency boost like never seen before.
