Fix #1120: surface the HTTP MCP bearer header for opencode on --foreground

The local /mcp endpoint is bearer-gated and exposes no OAuth discovery,
so an external client that auto-detects OAuth (opencode) just chokes on a
plain 401 with no way to find the token.

The --foreground ready output now prints the exact Authorization: Bearer
header plus a copy-pasteable opencode.json block that pins `oauth: false`
so the client sends the header instead of probing for an authorization
server.

Adds an e2e scenario (http-mcp-bearer) asserting /mcp works with the
bearer header and 401s without it.
