czlonkowski 75952f94ca fix: Docker stdio communication for Claude Desktop compatibility
Fixed the initialization timeout issue with minimal changes:

1. Added stdout flush after server connection to combat Docker buffering
2. Fixed docker-entrypoint.sh to not output to stdout in stdio mode
3. Added process.stdin.resume() to keep server alive
4. Added IS_DOCKER environment variable for future use
5. Updated README to prioritize Docker with correct -i flag configuration

The core issue was Docker's block buffering preventing immediate JSON-RPC
responses. The -i flag maintains stdin connection, and explicit flushing
ensures responses reach Claude Desktop immediately.

Also fixed "Shutting down..." message that was breaking JSON-RPC protocol
by redirecting it to stderr in stdio mode.

Docker is now the recommended installation method as originally intended.
