Pull request overview
This PR updates contributor documentation to better describe how to configure and validate authentication for OAuth/Entra ID–protected external MCP registry servers used by the Azure MCP Server.
Changes:

registry.jsonfields for HTTP servers (title,toolPrefix,oauthScopes). - Adds guidance on Entra ID authentication scenarios (user principal, service principal, OBO) for external HTTP registry servers.
- Updates the “Adding New External MCP Servers” instructions to point at the Azure MCP Server’s embedded
registry.jsonlocation.
