feat(params): add structured argument binding helper

Add params.Bind, which unmarshals a tool call's map[string]any args into a
typed struct via JSON round-trip so JSON numbers land in the correct Go
numeric field types, and enforces `required:"true"` struct tags with clear
errors. Migrate the branch, tree, and file repo handlers to use it instead
of repeated args["x"].(string)/!ok extraction, preserving existing
validation behavior for each field.
