mcp: check that UnmarshalJSON methods for Content don't panic on nil

Introduces a new test file content_nil_test.go which verifies that UnmarshalJSON methods for various Content types do not panic when unmarshaling onto nil pointers.
Adds a nil check in contentFromWire function to guard against a nil wire.Content parameter.
Tests cover different scenarios, including valid and invalid content types, as well as cases with empty or missing content fields.

For #205
