chore: update dependencies and add cargo-deny security checks

Major updates and improvements to project dependencies, security, and code quality:

Dependencies updated:
- wasmtime: 37.0 → 38.0 (latest stable)
- criterion: 0.5 → 0.7 (major version upgrade for benchmarks)
- tempfile: 3.13 → 3.23 (latest stable)
- wat: 1.232 → 1.240 (WASM text format)
- uuid: 1.10 → 1.11 (with v4 and fast-rng features)
- regex: 1.10 → 1.11 (pattern matching)
- secrecy: 0.8 → 0.10 (sensitive data handling)
- clap: 4.4 → 4.5 (CLI argument parsing)

Security & CI improvements:
- Add deny.toml configuration for cargo-deny
- Replace cargo-audit with cargo-deny in CI pipeline
- Configure comprehensive security checks:
  - Security advisories (RUSTSEC database)
  - License compliance (MIT/Apache-2.0/BSD allowed)
  - Dependency ban management
  - Duplicate dependency detection
  - Source verification (crates.io only)
- Add RUSTSEC-2024-0436 exception (paste crate unmaintained, transitive from rmcp)

Code quality fixes:
- Fix clippy::field-reassign-with-default warnings (3 cases in mcp-core/config.rs)
- Fix clippy::identity-op warning (mcp-core/types.rs:668)
- Fix clippy::unwrap-or-default warning (mcp-core/traits/state.rs:266)
- Update workspace lints with priority-based configuration
- Add allow for clippy::needless-borrows-for-generic-args (false positives)
- Add allow for clippy::multiple-crate-versions (transitive dependencies)

Other changes:
- Remove benches/execution_overhead.rs (duplicate benchmark)
- Update edge case tests in mcp-codegen
- Update integration tests in mcp-examples
- Update VFS benchmarks

All checks passed:
✅ cargo deny check (advisories, bans, licenses, sources)
✅ cargo +nightly fmt --check
✅ cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features --workspace
✅ cargo test --workspace --all-features (314 tests passing)
