Rename namespace and public facing plugin output from "Unity MCP" to "MCP for Unity" (#225)

* refactor: rename namespace from UnityMcpBridge to MCPForUnity across all files

See thread in #6, we can't use Unity MCP because it violates their trademark.
That name makes us look affiliated. We can use MCP for Unity

* Change package display name, menu item and menu titles

These are front facing so has to change for Unity asset store review

* Misc name changes in logs and comments for better consistency

* chore: update editor window title from 'MCP Editor' to 'MCP for Unity'

* refactor: update branding from UNITY-MCP to MCP-FOR-UNITY across all log messages and warnings

* chore: rename Unity MCP to MCP For Unity across all files and bump version to 2.1.2

* docs: update restore script title to clarify Unity MCP naming

* Fix usage instructions

* chore: update log messages to use MCP For Unity branding instead of UnityMCP

* Add a README inside plugin, required for distributing via the asset store

* docs: update Unity port description and fix typo in troubleshooting section

* Address Rabbit feedback

* Update Editor prefs to use new name

Prevents overlap with other Unity MCPs, happy to revert if it's too much

* refactor: rename server logger and identifier from unity-mcp-server to mcp-for-unity-server

* Standardize casing of renamed project to "MCP for Unity", as it is on the asset store

* Remove unused folder

* refactor: rename Unity MCP to MCP for Unity across codebase

* Update dangling references

* docs: update product name from UnityMCP to MCP for Unity in README

* Update log and comments for new name

 ### Cursor/VSCode/Windsurf: UV path issue on Windows (diagnosis and fix)
