[Server] Compose StreamableHttpTransport security middleware via defaultMiddleware() factory (#307)

* [Server] Add CORS, DNS rebinding and protocol version middleware

Introduce three PSR-15 middleware for `StreamableHttpTransport` exposed
through a public `StreamableHttpTransport::defaultMiddleware()` factory
composed automatically when no middleware is passed.

- `CorsMiddleware`: secure-by-default (no `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`),
  configurable allowlist, reflects matching origin with `Vary: Origin`
  to protect shared caches.
- `DnsRebindingProtectionMiddleware`: validates `Origin`/`Host` against
  a hostname allowlist (localhost-only by default).
- `ProtocolVersionMiddleware`: rejects requests carrying an unsupported
  `Mcp-Protocol-Version` header with `400 Bad Request`.

The transport no longer applies CORS via an `instanceof + array_unshift`
post-hook; the middleware parameter is nullable — `null` installs the
secure defaults, `[]` disables them, and users compose by spreading
`StreamableHttpTransport::defaultMiddleware()`. `SESSION_HEADER` and
`PROTOCOL_VERSION_HEADER` are promoted to public constants so middleware
can reuse them.

BC breaks:
- The `corsHeaders` constructor parameter is removed; the `middleware`
  parameter shifts one position. Positional callers passing the old
  `corsHeaders` argument must switch to named arguments or drop it.
- Default `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` is no longer `*`.

Addresses #260 (DNS rebinding), #277 (CORS extraction) and #306
(protocol version validation).

* [Server] Address review feedback on middleware defaults

- CorsMiddleware: emit Access-Control-Allow-Methods/Headers only on
  preflight per CORS spec; tokenize Vary header to avoid substring
  false-positives; add allowCredentials flag that emits
  Access-Control-Allow-Credentials and throws when combined with
  wildcard origin.
- DnsRebindingProtectionMiddleware: return plain-text 403 body
  (HTTP-level rejection, not JSON-RPC); use parse_url(..., PHP_URL_HOST)
  for origin parsing; drop redundant unbracketed '::1' from default
  allowlist.
- ProtocolVersionMiddleware: use Error::forInvalidParams instead of
  forInvalidRequest -- JSON-RPC -32602 fits header-value rejection
  better.
- JsonRpcErrorResponse::create now accepts a JsonRpc\Error so callers
  choose the error code.
- StreamableHttpTransport: emit a warning log when an explicit empty
  middleware list is passed, so operators can spot accidental bypass
  of the default security stack.

* [Server] Fix CI: switch warning-log tests to PHPUnit mocks

Replace the anonymous AbstractLogger fixture in
StreamableHttpTransportTest with `$this->createMock(LoggerInterface::class)`
so the test does not declare a `log()` signature at all. That sidesteps
both the psr/log v1 LSP incompatibility (untyped parameter) and the
phpstan `missingType.parameter` complaint in one move, and matches how
the rest of the suite (CallToolHandlerTest etc.) fakes loggers.

* Update src/Server/Transport/Http/Middleware/CorsMiddleware.php

* Per the MCP Streamable HTTP spec, after the `initialize` handshake clients
* must echo the negotiated protocol version on every subsequent request via
* the `MCP-Protocol-Version` header. Servers MUST reject unknown or malformed
* values with `400 Bad Request`.

* When the header is absent the middleware passes the request through —
* the `initialize` round-trip does not carry the header, and legacy clients
