Add binary caching with retry logic and verification

Major improvements to binary download reliability and performance:

- Add GitHub Actions cache for both cagent and mcp-gateway binaries
  - Cache keys based on OS and version
  - Significantly reduces execution time on repeated runs

- Implement retry_download function with 3 attempts
  - Uses curl's built-in retry with delays
  - Manual retry loop with 2-second delays between attempts
  - Clear error messages if all attempts fail

- Add binary verification after download
  - Runs 'version' command to ensure binary works
  - Exits with error if verification fails

- Consolidate binary setup into single step (setup-binaries)
  - Sets outputs for cagent-version and mcp-installed
  - Respects debug mode for verbose logging

- Fix mcp-gateway installation conditional
  - Now only installs when mcp-gateway input is 'true'
