feat(plugin-mcp)!: redesign API key management

[AlessioGr]

This PR improves MCP API key management in the admin panel.

Admin redesign

MCP API keys move out of the main nav and into the user menu under Settings → Manage API keys.

API key collection

The MCP API key collection is no longer auth-enabled.

MCP keys still belong to a Payload user, but the key collection itself is no longer treated like a login-capable user collection. That keeps generated auth user types cleaner.

Migration

Existing MCP API keys should be recreated after upgrading. The collection slug is unchanged, but the API key fields and access settings changed.

The public baseAPIKeyFields export was replaced by createAPIKeyFields().
