Decouple Handlers and Collections from protocol types (#765)
* Decouple Handlers and Collections (e.g. ToolsHandler and ToolsCollection) from Capabilities by promoting them to the options types.

Also, group all handlers in container classes, for server, I decided to move McpServerHandlers down to Mcp.Core and move the NotificationHandlers there too.

Also, Fix ListResourceTemplatesHandler issue.

* Add remarks for empty protocol capability types

* Keep JsonIgnore properties and mark them as Obsolete

* Continue supporting Obsolete members

* Update Obsolete messages to indicate the member will be removed

* Add EditorBrowsable Never to the remaining obsolete members
