Consolidates Parallel's two Claude plugin definitions into one. The
plugin already claimed "Parallel Web Search MCP" in its description but
shipped skills only, with no MCP server; the MCP lived in a separate
plugin definition in parallel-web/search-mcp that was never submitted.

- Add .mcp.json with the anonymous parallel-search server, and reference
  it from the Claude and Codex plugin manifests
- Port the setup skill from search-mcp as parallel-search-setup, scoped
  to the bundled anonymous server and cross-referencing the CLI and
  Bifrost setup skills
- Add SECURITY.md and the free-vs-paid, privacy, and support disclosures
  the Software Directory Policy expects
- Update manifest descriptions so they match what the plugin ships

Web search and fetch now work the moment the plugin is installed, with
no account, API key, or CLI.
