Remove the external MCP Agent Mail server integration that required
running a separate HTTP server and configuring environment variables.
The native `bd mail` system (stored as git-synced issues) remains
unchanged and is the recommended approach for inter-agent messaging.
Files removed:
- cmd/bd/message.go - Legacy `bd message` command
- integrations/beads-mcp/src/beads_mcp/mail.py, mail_tools.py
- lib/beads_mail_adapter.py - Python adapter library
- examples/go-agent/ - Agent Mail-focused example
- examples/python-agent/agent_with_mail.py, AGENT_MAIL_EXAMPLE.md
- docs/AGENT_MAIL*.md, docs/adr/002-agent-mail-integration.md
- tests/integration/test_agent_race.py, test_mail_failures.py, etc.
- tests/benchmarks/ - Agent Mail benchmarks
Updated documentation to remove Agent Mail references while keeping
native `bd mail` documentation intact.
