mcp: rename package from @instanode/mcp to instanode-mcp (#2)

The publish workflow has been 404-ing on every release because the
@instanode npm org was never registered. npm rejects PUTs to a scope
that doesn't exist with HTTP 404, regardless of NPM_TOKEN validity.

Two options were on the table:
  A. Switch to an unscoped name (this PR)
  B. Keep the scope and have the operator run `npm org create instanode`
     (paid org, or claim it via npm support if available)

Chose A. Unscoped removes the org-setup blocker entirely, and there's no
product reason to keep the scope — agents install via
`npx -y instanode-mcp@latest` rather than discovering the package by
scope. The MCP registry's `name` field stays as
`io.github.InstaNode-dev/mcp` (org namespace there is GitHub, not npm)
so the registry listing is unaffected.

Changes:
  - package.json: name → "instanode-mcp"
  - server.json: npm identifier → "instanode-mcp", version → 0.8.0
  - README.md: every install command + heading
  - PUBLISHING.md: heading, npm view command, post-publish verification;
    added a top-of-file note explaining the rename for posterity
  - smithery.yaml: command args
  - src/index.ts: file header comment
  - test.sh: shell echoes

Test gate:
  npm run build  — clean
  npm test       — 6/6 pass (still resolves serverInfo, tools/list,
                   list_resources auth message, validation, claim helper)

After merge, the next push to master triggers the publish workflow.
Operator verification:
  npm view instanode-mcp version    # should print 0.8.0
