feat: Add minimal AGNTCY Identity support

- Optional identity verification for MCP servers
- AGNTCY-compatible Verifiable Credentials
- Simple file-based storage for development
- Non-blocking verification on server startup
- Only 132 lines of code across 2 files

Enable with: export MCPD_IDENTITY_ENABLED=true
Initialize: mcpd identity init <server-name>

+# Identity Support
+
+mcpd includes optional support for AGNTCY Identity standards, enabling verifiable identities for MCP servers.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Enable identity:
+```bash
+export MCPD_IDENTITY_ENABLED=true
+```
+
+2. Initialize identity for a server:
+```bash
+mcpd identity init github-server --org "MyOrg"
+```
+
+3. Start mcpd normally:
+```bash
+mcpd daemon
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+When enabled, mcpd:
+- Creates AGNTCY-compatible Verifiable Credentials for servers
+- Stores credentials locally in `~/.config/mcpd/identity/`
+- Verifies server identities on startup (optional, non-blocking)
+
+## Configuration
+
+Identity is disabled by default. Enable with:
+- Environment variable: `MCPD_IDENTITY_ENABLED=true`
+
+## Future
+
+This minimal implementation provides a foundation for:
+- Integration with AGNTCY Identity Nodes
+- Agent-to-Agent (A2A) secure communication
+- Cross-organizational trust networks
