internal/mcp: meta and progress token

Meta is a struct that contains a map[string]any, and a ProgressToken
field.

Each Params and Result type has a Meta as a value field.

Meta marshals and unmarshals specially, so the ProgressToken field
becomes part of the map. The marshalling code is generalized in
anticipation of every Params and Result growing a map of additional
properties.

These types will be included in the `mcp` package, but will be unexported unless they are needed for the user-facing API. Notably, JSON-RPC request types are elided, since they are handled by the `jsonrpc2` package and should not be observed by the user.
For user-provided data, we use `json.RawMessage`, so that marshalling/unmarshalling can be delegated to the business logic of the client or server.
For user-provided data, we use `json.RawMessage` or `map[string]any`, depending on the use case.
For union types, which can't be represented in Go (specifically `Content` and `ResourceContents`), we prefer distinguished unions: struct types with fields corresponding to the union of all properties for union elements.

The `Meta` type includes a `map[string]any` for arbitrary data, and a `ProgressToken` field.
**Differences from mcp-go**: these types are largely similar, but our type generator flattens types rather than using struct embedding.

### Progress handling
A caller can request progress notifications by setting the `ProgressToken` field on any request.
A caller can request progress notifications by setting the `Meta.ProgressToken` field on any request.
```go
type XXXParams struct { // where XXX is each type of call
Meta Meta

type Meta struct {

ProgressToken any // string or int

```
Handlers can notify their peer about progress by calling the `NotifyProgress` method. The notification is only sent if the peer requested it by providing a progress token.
