Fix ruff formatting in markitdown_mcp/server.py on main branch

[Copilot]

The file markitdown_mcp/server.py had formatting issues that were causing all PRs to fail Code Quality checks, regardless of their content. The issue was caused by unnecessarily split string concatenations that ruff wanted to merge for better readability.

Problem

String literals were split across multiple concatenated strings where they should have been single strings:

# Before (incorrect):
"Base64 encoded file content " "(alternative to file_path)"
"Original filename when using " "file_content"
"Convert all supported files in a " "directory to Markdown"
"Path to the output directory " "(optional)"

# After (correct):
"Base64 encoded file content (alternative to file_path)"
"Original filename when using file_content"
"Convert all supported files in a directory to Markdown"
"Path to the output directory (optional)"

Solution

Applied ruff format to automatically fix the string concatenation formatting. The changes are minimal and surgical - only 4 lines were modified with no functional changes to the code.

Impact

• ✅ All formatting checks now pass (ruff format --check .)
• ✅ All lint checks pass (ruff check .)
• ✅ All existing tests continue to pass (19/19 MCP protocol tests)
• ✅ Future PRs will no longer fail CI Code Quality checks due to this formatting issue

This was a critical blocking issue preventing any PR from passing CI, even those that didn't touch the affected file.

Fixes #21.
