Add readiness endpoint for graceful shutdown coordination

Implement readiness endpoint (/api/ready) that returns:
- {"ready":true} (HTTP 200) during normal operation
- {"ready":false} (HTTP 503) during graceful shutdown

Key changes:
- Added readiness context to control readiness state
- Modified server.NewServer() to accept readiness context
- Implemented handleReadiness() with context-aware logic
- Updated cmd/server/main.go to manage readiness state
- Readiness set to false when shutdown signal received
- Updated test script to validate readiness behavior
- Added comprehensive documentation for readiness endpoint

This allows Kubernetes/service meshes to stop routing traffic
to the pod during graceful shutdown while allowing existing
requests to complete. Health endpoint continues to return
happy status during shutdown for proper orchestration.

**Expected response:** `{"status":"healthy"}`
**Expected responses:**
- Health: `{"status":"healthy"}`
- Readiness (normal): `{"ready":true}`
- Readiness (during shutdown): `{"ready":false}` with HTTP 503
**Endpoint Differences:**
- **Health endpoint** (`/api/health`): Indicates if the application is running and functional
- **Readiness endpoint** (`/api/ready`): Indicates if the application is ready to accept traffic
**Use Cases:**
- **Health**: Used by load balancers to check if the app is alive
- **Readiness**: Used by Kubernetes/service meshes to determine if the app can accept new requests
**During Graceful Shutdown:**
- Health endpoint continues to return `{"status":"healthy"}`
- Readiness endpoint returns `{"ready":false}` with HTTP 503 Service Unavailable
- This allows existing requests to complete while preventing new requests

### Readiness Check
```http
GET /api/ready

**Responses:**
- Normal operation: `{"ready":true}` (HTTP 200)
- During shutdown: `{"ready":false}` (HTTP 503 Service Unavailable)
**Purpose:** Indicates whether the server is ready to accept new requests. Returns false during graceful shutdown to allow existing requests to complete while preventing new ones.
