fix(cli): add SSL verification option for client transports

[yumosx]

Description

Add support for disabling SSL verification when verifySsl flag is false by providing a custom HTTPS agent. This allows connections to servers with self-signed certificates or in development environments where SSL verification needs to be bypassed.

Summary by cubic

Adds an optional SSL bypass for MCP SSE and HTTP client transports. When requestOptions.verifySsl is false, connections to self-signed or dev servers work; default behavior remains unchanged.

• New Features

  • Use https.Agent({ rejectUnauthorized: false }) when verifySsl is false for SSE and streamable-http transports.
  • No agent is created when verifySsl is true or unset.
  • Added tests covering both transports and verifySsl states.

• Refactors

  • Moved transport construction into mcpTransports.ts and updated MCPService to use it.

^{Written for commit 5450e59. Summary will update on new commits.}

@RomneyDa @sestinj I noticed that the lint errors were not introduced by this PR. I am more than happy to fix these lints.

@yumosx sounds good thanks! Can probably just pull out a util into a file or something. Otherwise this looks good

[yumosx]

@RomneyDa Do you mean exporting the lint errors to a Markdown file or similar? If yes, I'll create a separate issue to track this shortly.🚀

@yumosx I mean reducing file lines to fix linting error by pulling some code into a separate file

I see, I'll do it later.
