Handle unsupported issueFieldValues enrichment in search_issues

[kerobbi]

Summary

Makes the custom field value enrichment in search_issues best-effort, so a search no longer fails when the server's GraphQL schema doesn't support the issueFieldValues field (e.g. GHES).

Why

Fixes #2831

What changed

• Made the follow-up GraphQL field value enrichment best-effort: a failure getting the GraphQL client or running the enrichment query is now recorded on the request context instead of failing the search
• search_issues returns its REST hits (with field_values omitted) when enrichment is unavailable, matching how issue_read get already treats the same enrichment
• Added Test_SearchIssues_FieldValuesEnrichmentUnsupported covering the unsupported-schema path

MCP impact

• Tool schema or behavior changed - search_issues now degrades gracefully instead of failing when field value enrichment is unsupported

Security / limits

• No security or limits impact

Pull request overview

This PR updates the search_issues tool’s custom-field enrichment to be best-effort so it no longer fails on GitHub Enterprise Server instances whose GraphQL schema does not support issueFieldValues (e.g., GHES 3.20.x). The search now returns REST results even when GraphQL enrichment is unavailable, aligning with the existing “best-effort enrichment” behavior in issue_read get.

Changes:

• Made search_issues GraphQL-based field_values enrichment non-fatal and record enrichment failures on the request context.
• Ensured search_issues returns REST hits with field_values omitted when enrichment cannot be performed.
• Added a unit test covering the unsupported-schema (issueFieldValues missing) path.

Hi @kerobbi,

This fixes search_issues, but list_issues has the same class of GHES incompatibility via a different code path and still fails (confirmed against v1.8.0):

failed to list issues: IssueFieldValueFilter isn't a defined input type (on $issueFieldValues)

Here issueFieldValues is used as a query variable / input type (IssueFieldValueFilter) rather than a response field, so the graceful-degradation change here doesn't cover it. Can the same best-effort treatment be applied to list_issues, or should a follow-up PR be opened?
