[Client][Server] Add Roots support (#395)
* [Client][Server] Add Roots support

Wire up the MCP "roots" capability on both sides:

Client (php-sdk as client):
- RootsCallbackInterface + ListRootsRequestHandler answer server roots/list
  requests, mirroring the Sampling handler.
- Client::sendRootsListChanged() emits notifications/roots/list_changed.

Server (php-sdk as server):
- ClientGateway::listRoots() requests the client's roots, and
  supportsRoots() reports whether the client advertised the capability,
  normalizing the stored capabilities to an array so an empty
  capabilities object (\stdClass) doesn't cause a TypeError.
- Add ListRootsResult::fromArray() (used by listRoots()).
- ListRootsRequestHandler forwards RootsException messages to the server
  (new Mcp\Exception\RootsException), mirroring SamplingRequestHandler.
- Client::sendRootsListChanged() throws when the client did not advertise
  the roots.listChanged capability.

Examples, docs and tests:
- examples/README/docs advertise
  `new ClientCapabilities(roots: true, rootsListChanged: true)` before
  sending notifications/roots/list_changed.
- CHANGELOG entry for Roots (unreleased 0.7.0 section at the time).
- Unit tests for capability serialization/round-trip, sendRootsListChanged
  gating, and RootsException message forwarding.

* [Client][Server] Address review: schema validation, changelog section, connection guard, working example

Responds to chr-hertel's review of the Roots support:

- ListRootsResult::fromArray() rejects non-array root elements instead of
  accepting malformed entries silently.
- CHANGELOG entry moved to the next unreleased section as the release
  train advanced past it (0.7.0 -> 0.8.0).
- Client::sendRootsListChanged() went straight to
  Protocol::sendNotification(), which sends via
  `$this->transport?->send()` -- on a client that is not connected the
  notification was silently dropped. It now throws a ConnectionException
  like sendRequest() does.
- The stdio example only advertised the roots capability, so the
  roots/list handler never actually ran. The client-communication demo
  server gets an `inspect_workspace_roots` tool that calls
  ClientGateway::supportsRoots()/listRoots(); the example calls it, so
  the server actually issues roots/list and the client answers it.
  Dropped the try/catch wrapper from the example.
- ClientTest's connected-client mock now goes through setState() so
  isConnected() reflects a real handshake instead of a stubbed flag.

[Client] Add client-side elicitation support (#371)
* [Client] Add client-side elicitation support

The SDK could send elicitation/create requests from a server tool via
ClientGateway::elicit(), but the client could not receive them: there was
no request handler, and ElicitRequest was not registered in MessageFactory,
so incoming elicitation/create messages failed to parse.

This adds the client half, mirroring the existing Sampling pattern:

- Register ElicitRequest in MessageFactory so elicitation/create parses.
- ElicitationRequestHandler wraps a user callback and returns an
  ElicitResult (accept/decline/cancel) or an Error.
- ElicitationCallbackInterface defines the callback contract.
- ElicitationException forwards a specific message to the server; any
  other throwable returns a generic error.

Includes unit tests, a runnable client example against the elicitation
demo server, and client docs/README updates.

* [Client] Simplify elicitation example labelFor() per review

Type the parameter as AbstractSchemaDefinition and read ->title directly
instead of matching on each concrete definition type. title is a required
non-null string on the base class, so the match and the $name fallback were
redundant.

Document v0.6.0 changes in CHANGELOG and docs (#311)
Wrap-up for the v0.6.0 release: capture features/BC breaks merged since
v0.5.0 that were missing from documentation.

- CHANGELOG: add the `title` field on `Resource`/`ResourceTemplate` (#301),
  a feature plus three positional-argument BC breaks.
- mcp-elements.md: add the missing `title` parameter to the McpTool,
  McpResource, McpResourceTemplate and McpPrompt attribute reference
  sections; fix a missing closing paren in an `#[McpPrompt]` example.
- server-builder.md: add `title?` to the `addPrompt()` row of the method
  reference table (stale since v0.5.0).
- client.md: bump the protocol-version example to `V2025_11_25` to match
  the new default.
