refactor: Improve resource template support (#576)

- Provide separation of concerns between static resources and parameterized resource templates.
- Add AsyncResourceTemplateSpecification and SyncResourceTemplateSpecification for both McpServerFeatures and McpStatelessServerFeatures
- Change resource template storage from List to Map to acomodate the resource read handler.
- Add runtime management methods: addResourceTemplate(), removeResourceTemplate(), listResourceTemplates()
- Improve error handling by using IllegalArgumentException/IllegalStateException instead of McpError
- Add new interfaces (Meta, Identifier) and reorganize schema hierarchy
- Enhance completion request validation with better error messages
- Add ResourceTemplate.Builder for easier template construction
- Update all server implementations (Async, Sync, Stateless) consistently
- Add type-safe constants for reference types (PromptReference.TYPE, ResourceReference.TYPE)
- Add tests for new resource template management functionality
- Clean up imports and remove unused dependencies
