feat: add AWS resource listing tool for Terraform provider docs

This commit introduces a new tool, `list-resources`, that enumerates all AWS
resource documentation files from the Terraform AWS Provider GitHub repository,
specifically from the `website/docs/r/` directory. The tool is designed to
provide LLMs and MCP clients with a comprehensive, up-to-date index of AWS
resources, including rich metadata extracted from YAML frontmatter and content
headings.

The motivation for this addition is to enable real-time discovery, triage, and
contextualization of AWS resources supported by the Terraform provider. This
facilitates building dashboards, summaries, analytics, and improves integration
with issue and release tracking tools. It also supports LLM-driven workflows
such as code generation, validation, and explanation by providing structured
resource metadata.

Implementation details:
- Added `TOOLS_RESOURCES_LIST_RESOURCES` tool definition with argument schema
  (currently empty, allowing future extension).
- Implemented resource listing logic in `tools-resources.ts` (tool definition
  and documentation only; actual invocation code is scaffolded but commented out
  in `main.ts` pending integration).
- Extended `github-api.ts` adapter to support paginated directory listing,
  ensuring robust retrieval of large numbers of files from GitHub.
- Added `formatAwsResourceDocsAsTXT` formatter in `data-formatter.ts` to convert
  resource metadata into LLM-optimized text blocks.
- Introduced YAML parsing dependency (`@std/yaml`) for frontmatter extraction.
- Defined constants for repository and resource docs path in `constants.ts`.
- Updated `deno.lock` and `deno.json` to include new dependencies.
- Prepared for environment-based GitHub token authentication; errors are
  handled gracefully with informative messages.

The tool processes `.html.markdown` files, extracting fields such as resource
ID, subcategory, page title, description, and source link. It handles edge
cases including missing or malformed YAML frontmatter and missing headings by
marking fields as `(missing)` or `(malformed)` without failing.

No breaking changes are introduced. Existing tools and workflows remain
unaffected. The new tool is additive and designed for seamless integration with
existing MCP server architecture.

This enhancement addresses the lack of a centralized, machine-readable AWS
resource index in the MCP ecosystem, improving automation and LLM-assisted
interactions with Terraform AWS Provider documentation.

+Purpose:
+This tool retrieves all AWS resource documentation files from the official Terraform AWS Provider GitHub repository (in the 'website/docs/r/' directory). It is designed for LLMs and MCP clients to enable real-time discovery, triage, and contextualization of all available AWS resources supported by the provider, with rich metadata for each resource.
+
+When to Use:
+- To enumerate all AWS resources supported by the Terraform AWS Provider, with direct links to their documentation.
+- To build dashboards, summaries, or analytics based on the full set of provider resources.
+- To correlate resources with issues, releases, or documentation for troubleshooting or learning.
+- To provide LLMs with a comprehensive, up-to-date resource index for code generation, validation, or explanation tasks.
+
+Arguments:
+- (none required)
+
+Output Format:
+Each result is returned as a text content item formatted with these fields:
+  ID:                  resource name (from the first '# Resource:' heading)
+  SUBCATEGORY:         AWS service or subcategory (from YAML frontmatter)
+  PAGE_TITLE:          page_title (from YAML frontmatter)
+  DESCRIPTION:         description (from YAML frontmatter)
+  RESOURCE:            resource name (from heading)
+  RESOURCE_DESCRIPTION:first paragraph after the heading
+  SOURCE:              direct link to the file on GitHub
+  FILE_PATH:           path in the repo (e.g. website/docs/r/aws_s3_bucket.html.markdown)
+
+----------------------------------------
+
+Edge Case Handling:
+- Files missing YAML frontmatter: Mark fields as '(missing)' or skip as appropriate.
+- Files missing '# Resource:' heading: Mark as '(missing)' or skip.
+- Malformed YAML: Mark fields as '(malformed)' and continue.
+- Large number of files: May be paginated in future; currently returns all.
+- Non-resource files: Only files ending in '.html.markdown' are included.
+- Authentication Errors: Requires a valid GitHub token set as GITHUB_TOKEN, GH_TOKEN, or GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN in the environment. If missing or invalid, an error will be returned.
+
+Integration and Chaining:
+- Can be combined with issue and release tools to correlate resources with known issues or changes.
+- Use the output to drive dashboards, analytics, or automated documentation workflows.
+
+Example Usage:
+1. List all AWS resources:
+   { tool: 'list-resources', args: {} }
+2. Select a resource and fetch related issues or releases:
+   { tool: 'get-open-issues', args: {} }
+   { tool: 'get-release-by-tag', args: { tag: 'v5.96.0' } }
+
+Success Criteria:
+- Returns a list of formatted resource metadata blocks, one per resource.
+- Each block includes all required fields and a direct GitHub link.
+- Handles missing or malformed files gracefully.
+- Output is LLM-optimized and ready for downstream use.
