test: add a duplicate-tool-names test server for the #1957 repro

Browse source 
Nothing in the repo could serve the shape this fix is about: every preset
registers a unique name, and the SDK's `registerTool` rejects a repeat. So the
only reproduction was a unit test — there was no way to smoke the real app
against a server that returns duplicates.

Adds `ServerConfig.duplicateToolNames` (a list of registered tool names) to the
composable test server, plumbed through the JSON config, and a showcase config
`duplicate-tool-names-http.json`. The named tools are emitted a second time in
`tools/list` with the same `name` and a "(duplicate)" title.

The repeats are appended after the whole list rather than placed beside their
twin. That is both the realistic shape (two tool sources concatenated) and what
makes the defect observable: React matches a leading run of same-key children
first, so a head-adjacent duplicate happens to line up and the bug hides. Only
a separated pair collides in the keyed map and orphans a row — verified both
ways against the prod bundle.

The `tools/list` override is shared with the existing pagination handler (which
already hand-builds the list); with no `maxPageSize` it returns a single
unbounded page. Duplication happens before pagination, so a duplicated pair can
straddle a page boundary the way a real server's would.

Also adds a ToolControls test for this appended ordering, distinct from the
reporter's interleaved fixture, and documents the config in the README showcase
table.

Turn on **"Fetch Lists One Page at a Time"** (Server Settings — the `paginatedLists` setting, or the **Paginated** switch in a list sidebar) and the lists load page 1 only (4 items) with a **Load next page** control and an _N pages loaded_ status. Each click fetches the next 4 and appends them; Refresh resets to page 1. With the switch off (the default), the same lists auto-aggregate all three pages on connect.
#### Duplicate tool names
`duplicate-tool-names-http.json` serves `get_weather`, `get_temp`, `echo`, and `add`, then repeats `get_weather` and `echo` at the end of `tools/list` with the same `name` and a `(duplicate)` title (`duplicateToolNames`). No preset can produce this shape — the SDK's `registerTool` rejects a repeated name — but a real server can and does, and the Inspector has to render it faithfully.
Connect (default legacy era), open the Tools tab, and type `get` into **Search tools**: the list must narrow to exactly the three `get_*` rows. On the broken build it kept a stale `echo` row, because the sidebar keyed rows by `tool.name` alone and the colliding keys orphaned a child during reconciliation ([#1957](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector/issues/1957)).
The duplicated copies are appended rather than placed beside their twin on purpose. React matches a leading run of same-key children first, so a head-adjacent duplicate happens to line up and the defect hides; separating the pair is what makes it observable — and it is also the realistic shape, two tool sources concatenated.
#### Advertised extensions
`advertised-extensions-http.json` serves `echo` (always) and a `get_weather` tool **gated on the `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks` extension** (`extensionGatedTools`): the tool is registered but starts disabled, and the server enables it on `notifications/initialized` only when the client declared that extension in its `capabilities.extensions`.
