[Schema][Server] Harden sampling tools against the spec (#420)

* harden sampling tools against the spec

Report tool-flow violations as -32602 instead of dropping the request,
accept resource_link in tool results, gate tools on sampling.tools, and
reject empty content.

* normalize keyed content arrays to lists

array_filter() and friends preserve keys, and a keyed array serializes as a
JSON object instead of the content-block array the schema requires.

* [BC Break] Gate `structuredContent` on the negotiated protocol revision: `ToolReference::extractStructuredContent()` takes an optional `ProtocolVersion` and, for revisions predating SEP-2106 (`2025-11-25` and earlier, where `structuredContent` must be a JSON object), returns `null` for a tool result that is a PHP list or an object serializing to a JSON array. From `2026-07-28` on both are emitted as-is. Objects serializing to a scalar and arrays holding `Content` instances are never emitted, in any revision. `CallToolHandler` resolves the revision from the request's `_meta` (modern era) or the session (handshake era) and falls back to the strictest rule; it logs a warning when a tool declares an `outputSchema` but returns a value that cannot be sent, and when a self-built `CallToolResult` carries a `structuredContent` the revision does not allow (that one is passed through unchanged). Tools returning a list against an older client keep their JSON-encoded value in `content`; they just no longer advertise an invalid `structuredContent`.
* Add `Mcp\Schema\Content\ResourceLink` for the spec's `resource_link` content block (protocol revision 2025-06-18+), letting tool results and prompt messages reference a resource by URI/name without embedding its contents. Accepted anywhere `resource` (`EmbeddedResource`) content is (de)serialized: `CallToolResult::fromArray()`, `PromptMessage::fromArray()`, and `PromptResultFormatter`.
* Negotiate the protocol revision during the `initialize` handshake: the server echoes a revision it supports and counter-offers `ProtocolVersion::latestHandshake()` otherwise (`Builder::setProtocolVersion()` pins it to exactly one), and the client fails the handshake on a counter-offer it cannot speak rather than continuing on an unagreed revision. Adds `Client::getProtocolVersion()`, the `2026-07-28` revision, and the era helpers on `ProtocolVersion` — revisions from `2026-07-28` on have no `initialize`, so they are excluded from negotiation and from `ProtocolVersionMiddleware`'s default supported set.
* Add sampling with tools support: sampling requests now accept tools and tool-choice preferences, messages support tool-use/tool-result content blocks and multiple content blocks, and clients can advertise the `sampling.context` and `sampling.tools` capabilities.
* Add sampling with tools support: sampling requests now accept tools and tool-choice preferences, messages support tool-use/tool-result content blocks and multiple content blocks, and clients can advertise the `sampling.context` and `sampling.tools` capabilities. Adds `ClientGateway::supportsSamplingTools()` / `supportsSamplingContext()` to check the sub-capabilities before sending, and `CreateSamplingMessageRequest::validateToolFlow()`, which asserts the spec's tool-flow rules across the whole message list — the client handler rejects a violating request with `-32602` instead of leaving it unanswered, and the gateway refuses to send one.
* [BC Break] `SamplingMessage::$content` and `CreateSamplingMessageResult::$content` may now hold a list of content blocks instead of a single one, so code reading them directly must handle both. Use the new `getContentBlocks()` on either class to always get a list.
* [BC Break] `CreateSamplingMessageResult` now rejects any role other than `assistant`, and rejects empty content, as the specification requires.
