docs: update tool count 36→62 across READMEs, add comparison table rows for new capabilities
Root + mcp-server READMEs bump total from 36 to 62. Comparison tables add rows for view descriptions/cell wrap/covers/color/calendar/frozen columns, sidebar sections, record templates, form metadata, and tool profiles/toggles. Root README tool category table adds Tool Management (1) row. All "61 tools" references updated to 62.
