🏷️ feat: Request Placeholders for Custom Endpoint & MCP Headers (#9095)

* feat: Add conversation ID support to custom endpoint headers

- Add LIBRECHAT_CONVERSATION_ID to customUserVars when provided
- Pass conversation ID to header resolution for dynamic headers
- Add comprehensive test coverage

Enables custom endpoints to access conversation context using {{LIBRECHAT_CONVERSATION_ID}} placeholder.

* fix: filter out unresolved placeholders from headers (thanks @MrunmayS)

* feat: add support for request body placeholders in custom endpoint headers

- Add {{LIBRECHAT_BODY_*}} placeholders for conversationId, parentMessageId, messageId
- Update tests to reflect new body placeholder functionality

* refactor resolveHeaders

* style: minor styling cleanup

* fix: type error in unit test

* feat: add body to other endpoints

* feat: add body for mcp tool calls

* chore: remove changes that unnecessarily increase scope after clarification of requirements

* refactor: move http.ts to packages/api and have RequestBody intersect with Express request body

* refactor: processMCPEnv now uses single object argument pattern

* refactor: update processMCPEnv to use 'options' parameter and align types across MCP connection classes

* feat: enhance MCP connection handling with dynamic request headers to pass request body fields
