[Schema] Add resource_link content block (#400)

* Add resource_link content block

The spec's `resource_link` content type (protocol revision 2025-06-18,
still present in 2025-11-25) had no corresponding schema class: it lets a
tool result or prompt message reference a resource by URI/name without
embedding its full contents, the way `EmbeddedResource` does. Without it,
tools returning many or large resource references (e.g. search results
over a DAM) are stuck smuggling URIs through text/structured content.

Add `Mcp\Schema\Content\ResourceLink`, mirroring the spec's `Resource`
shape (uri, name, title, description, mimeType, annotations, size, icons,
_meta) with a fixed `type: "resource_link"`, following the conventions of
the sibling `EmbeddedResource`/`ResourceDefinition` classes.

Register it everywhere `resource` content blocks are (de)serialized by
type per the spec's `ContentBlock` union:
- `CallToolResult::fromArray()`
- `PromptMessage` (constructor type, `fromArray()`, phpstan types)
- `PromptResultFormatter` (typed-array and direct-instance paths)

`SamplingMessage`/`CreateSamplingMessageResult` are intentionally left
unchanged: the spec's `SamplingMessageContentBlock` does not include
`ResourceLink`.

Fixes #399

* Add resource_link example coverage to discovery-userprofile

Add a lookup_user tool to the discovery-userprofile example: given a
userId, it returns a short text summary plus a resource_link pointing
at the existing user://{userId}/profile resource template, instead of
embedding the profile. This mirrors the PR's motivating use case (a
tool referencing many/large resources by URI rather than inlining
them) and exercises resource_link through the example's own inspector
snapshot tests (tools_call-lookup_user[_not_found], tools_list).

Wiring this up surfaced a real bug: ToolReference::extractStructuredContent()
passed any raw array return value straight through as structuredContent,
even when it held Content instances (e.g. the TextContent/ResourceLink
pair above). That serializes to a JSON list, which fails the spec's
requirement that structuredContent be an object - the inspector's MCP
client rejected the tool call outright until fixed. Skip structuredContent
extraction whenever the raw result contains a Content item, since those
are already represented in `content` and were never meant to double as
structured data.
