Fix MCP Inspector compatibility and add resource examples

- Add missing resource method handlers for MCP Inspector:
  - resources/templates (returns empty template array)
  - resources/templates/list (alias for templates)
  - resources/subscribe (returns empty object - not supported)
  - resources/unsubscribe (returns empty object - not supported)
- Add debug logging to trace method calls
- Fix DESCRIPTION file with required Author/Maintainer fields
- Add comprehensive resource usage examples to README.md:
  - Custom resource examples (datasets, memory, models)
  - Dynamic resource creation patterns
  - Usage scenarios with AI assistants
- Create complete working example in inst/examples/resources_example.R
  demonstrating various resource types

These changes ensure full compatibility with MCP Inspector and provide
clear documentation for users to implement resources effectively.

+### Dynamic Resources with Parameters
+
+While the current implementation doesn't support URI templates, you can create resources that adapt based on runtime conditions:
+
+```r
+# Create resources based on available data files

+

+for (file in data_files) {

+
+### Resource Usage Examples
+
+Once your MCP server is running with resources, AI assistants can:
+
+1. **Browse available resources** - The AI can list all resources to see what information is available
+2. **Read specific resources** - The AI can read resource content to understand your data and environment
+3. **Use resources for context** - The AI can reference resource information when answering questions or writing code
+
+Example interaction with an AI assistant:
+```
+You: "What datasets are available in this R session?"
+AI: *Lists resources and reads relevant ones*
+    "I can see you have the iris dataset available. Based on the 
+    /data/iris-summary resource, it has 150 observations of 5 variables..."
+
+You: "Can you help me analyze the relationship between Sepal.Length and Petal.Length?"
+AI: *Reads the iris summary resource for context*
+    "Based on the iris dataset summary, I can see that Sepal.Length ranges 
+    from 4.3 to 7.9 and Petal.Length from 1.0 to 6.9. Let me create a 
+    linear model to analyze their relationship..."
+```
