feat(gitlab_glab): add merge request diff functionality with large diff mitigation

- Add get_mr_diff method to GitLabServer class with support for all glab mr diff options
- Implement smart large diff handling that saves diffs > 100KB to temporary files
- Add comprehensive test coverage (7 new tests) achieving 95% coverage
- Support for MR ID/branch, color options, raw format, and repository selection
- Include proper error handling and logging
- Update README with usage examples and documentation
- Follow project coding standards with type hints and docstrings

Resolves large diff handling for LLM consumption while preserving full diff access.
