Inline issue/comment attachments in body (#183)

The Gitea API returns an `assets` array on issue and comment responses, but the SDK structs drop it — so attachments are invisible to MCP agents.

Append each attachment as a `[name](url)` markdown link at the end of the body, mirroring how GitHub embeds attachments inline (which `github-mcp-server` preserves as-is).

**Coverage:**
- `issue_read get` — issue body attachments
- `issue_read get_comments` — issue and PR conversation comment attachments (same endpoint)
- `pull_request_read get` — PR description attachments (Gitea's `/pulls/` endpoint omits `assets`, so a follow-up best-effort call to `/issues/{n}/assets` surfaces them; PRs are issues internally)

PR review summaries and line-comment reviews don't support attachments per the Gitea API spec, so nothing to do there.

Closes https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp/issues/182
