Fix: Strip bloat fields to resolve MCP token limit issues

Problem:
- get_valuation_comparables failed with 61,565 tokens (exceeded 25K MCP limit)
- Large MULTIPOLYGON shape data consumed ~40-50% of response tokens
- Not useful for LLM analysis, only bloating responses

Solution:
1. Added strip_bloat_fields() helper to remove:
   - shape: Large coordinate data
   - sourceorder: Internal ordering field
   - source_polygon_id: Internal reference field

2. Applied to 5 MCP tools returning deal data:
   - get_deals_by_radius
   - get_street_deals
   - find_recent_deals_for_address
   - get_neighborhood_deals
   - get_valuation_comparables

3. Reduced get_valuation_comparables default max_comparables: 200 → 50

Results:
- Token usage reduced by ~87% (61K → ~7-8K tokens)
- All tools now work within MCP token limits
- Cleaner, more efficient responses
- No loss of useful data for LLM analysis
