Introduce a new MCP tool `update_pull_request_review` that allows updating an existing pull request review (body, event, commit SHA). This avoids dismissing + recreating reviews and keeps PR timelines clean without “dismissed” markers. Highly suitable for agents/bots that need to refresh their reviews on new commits without spamming the PR timeline.
