refactor: consolidate MCP pagination guidance via shared/mcp-pagination.md

[Copilot]

21 workflows were independently re-deriving pagination guidance for GitHub MCP tool calls (perPage values, oversized-response handling) without importing the existing shared/mcp-pagination.md component — leading to inconsistent thresholds and duplicated prose.

Changes

• 19 workflow .md files: Added - shared/mcp-pagination.md as the first entry in the imports: section, establishing a single source of truth for the 25k-token MCP response limit and recommended perPage values
• 19 workflow .lock.yml files: Recompiled to reflect updated imports

Example

imports:
  - shared/mcp-pagination.md       # ← added
  - shared/github-guard-policy.md
  - shared/reporting.md

Scope

Workflows with GitHub MCP toolsets configured and existing per_page/perPage references were updated. Excluded: agentic-token-optimizer.md (explicitly no MCP tools), copilot-centralization-optimizer.md and release.md (no GitHub toolsets), and smoke test workflows (test-specific perPage values are assertions, not guidance).

Existing workflow-specific perPage values (e.g. perPage: 5 in org-health-report, perPage=1 in github-mcp-structural-analysis) are retained — they are precise operational instructions, not general prose.
