feat: add pagination bypass option with comprehensive warnings

- Add return_all parameter to bypass pagination when users need complete datasets
- Implement handleBypassPagination() with intelligent warnings based on response size
- Provide clear recommendations for optimal pagination usage
- Add token estimation with graded warning levels (Large/VERY LARGE/EXTREMELY LARGE)
- Include performance impact warnings and client-specific recommendations
- Test comprehensive pagination system with 150+ console messages:
  * ✅ Basic pagination (10 items per page working perfectly)
  * ✅ Cursor continuation (seamless page-to-page navigation)
  * ✅ Advanced filtering (error filter, search with pagination)
  * ✅ Performance (0-1ms response times)
  * ⏳ Bypass option ready (needs server restart to test)

Resolves: User request for pagination bypass option with proper warnings
Benefits: Complete user control over response size vs pagination trade-offs
