internal/mcp: reorganize the tool API, keeping generics

CallToolParams.Arguments is any.

Clients can send whatever they want.

Tool authors who create their own ToolHandler (bypassing NewTool)
will receive the arguments as a map[string]any which has been
validated against the input schema.

Tool authors who call NewTool can choose the type that the arguments
unmarshal into.

There is no double-unmarshaling and no downcasting.

There is no way for tool authors to avoid the unmarshal, and no way to
avoid the validation unless the omit an input schema, which is probably
bad for LLMs. If tool authors want this optimization, we can provide
it later.
