docs(README): clarify MCP namespace ownership + bump 0.17.1

The MCP wire-through section previously stated tools are namespaced
\`mcp__<server>__<tool>\` without attribution, leaving readers to assume
the SDK owns the convention. Verified against the installed SDK 0.1.79:
the SDK never constructs or rewrites that prefix; it passes allowed_tools
through verbatim to the Claude CLI subprocess, which is what exposes MCP
tools under that namespace and pattern-matches against it.

Tightened the paragraph to attribute the convention to the CLI explicitly,
with the SDK described as the transport. Mnemara "conforms rather than
defines" — accurate framing for the main codepath (gemma defines its own
namespace because it dispatches MCP itself).

Docs-only; no source changes. Patch bump syncs PyPI to github.
