feat: cover device database in MCP server install instructions
Updates the Seam Docs MCP server section to reflect that search and
fetch tools also cover the 400+ supported device models. Adds device-
oriented example prompts, display names for each tool, and a search tip
for device queries. Aligns with the marketplace listing copy.
