pi bridge: RemoteMcpClient is now the only copy (pi-extensions retired mcp-loader.ts)

pi-extensions 750b2a8 removed mcp-loader.ts in favour of pi's built-in MCP
support (builtin:mcp, ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json). The bridge's RemoteMcpClient was
vendored from that file and kept in step by an MCP-STREAMABLE-HTTP-CLIENT-SYNC
token, checked by scripts/check-mcp-client-sync.sh. With the canonical copy
gone the guard could only ever SKIP (or, on images that still bake
/opt/pi-extensions/extensions/mcp-loader.ts, compare against a dead file), so
it is removed rather than left looking like a check.

Comment and README only; no code change. The bridge still type-strips and
imports (node 24), and evaluateDormancy is exported as before. The README
records why MemPalace itself does not move to the built-in: its wake-up,
mailbox, feed and stamping need their own client, and built-in tools would be
mcp__mempalace__* with codemode exposure by default.
