Update docs with better guidance for configuring additional toolsets #1705

Describe the bug

Currently the readme shown in the server config does not show anything about the options to configure additional toolsets. If you scroll over the remote section you end up finding the local server config for extra tools, which is confusing.

Even worse, the link to the "Remove Server Documentation" goes to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/github-mcp-server/main/docs/remote-server.md from the registry page, whereas it shows the normal url in the repo README itself.

Eventually you hope to find the actual documentation page here: https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server/blob/main/docs/remote-server.md

This page does not show the names of the toolsets you need to configure! The name here is the display name it seems, but you need to actually configure the key from the API URL, so code_security instead of Code Security.

I'd suggest fixing the naming thing first, and then look at the issue with the links.
