mcp: drop direction from marker_definition tool

A marker definition fans out to every link and auto-selects its capture node
on each, so tx/rx is relative to a node that varies per link — the controller
already rejects it (409). Exposing direction on the MCP definition tool let an
agent ask for something that could only fail. Remove the parameter and the
handler's direction handling; the docstring now points to encoding direction in
the BPF (e.g. 'icmp and icmp[icmptype]==8'). Per-link link_marker keeps
direction, where the capture node is fixed.

A definition has NO direction (tx/rx): it fans out to every link and auto-selects
its capture node on each, so a fixed direction has no consistent meaning. Encode
the direction you want in the BPF instead (e.g. 'icmp and icmp[icmptype]==8' for
echo requests only). For a capture-node-relative direction on a single link, use
the per-link `link_marker` tool.
Common BPF examples: 'arp', 'icmp', 'ospf', 'tcp port 22', 'udp port 53'
