EEM to provide MCP tools, resources, for Agentic interaction and discovery of streams of events

Add native support for HTTP/REST ingestion (POST to Topic) directly within the EEM Gateway with built-in mTLS and Basic Authentication.

Mirror multiple versions into the same catalog

It's very common to have several versions of EVS running. It would be ideal that we could mirror all of these using oc mirror, making them more manageable and also would allow us to have the same catalog for all EVS versions we want to deploy
