feat(resolvemcp): add hook system for model operations

* Implement hooks for CRUD operations: before/after handle, read, create, update, delete.
* Introduce HookContext and HookRegistry for managing hooks.
* Allow registration and execution of multiple hooks per operation.

feat(resolvemcp): implement MCP tools for CRUD operations
* Register tools for reading, creating, updating, and deleting records.
* Define tool arguments and handle requests with appropriate responses.
* Support for resource registration with metadata.

fix(restheadspec): enhance cursor handling for joins
* Improve cursor filter generation to support lateral joins.
* Update join alias extraction to handle lateral joins correctly.
* Ensure cursor filters do not contain empty comparisons.

test(restheadspec): add tests for cursor filters and join alias extraction
* Create tests for lateral join scenarios in cursor filter generation.
* Validate join alias extraction for various join types, including lateral joins.
