Advertise JSON Schema 2020-12 dialect on emitted tool schemas

## Motivation and Context

MCP 2025-11-25 (SEP-1613) establishes JSON Schema 2020-12 as the default dialect
for MCP schema definitions.
 https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/issues/1613

The Ruby SDK was emitting tool input and output schemas with no `$schema` field,
leaving the dialect implicit and inconsistent with the TypeScript SDK
(`packages/core/src/util/standardSchema.ts`, which emits with `target: 'draft-2020-12'`)
and the Python SDK (which preserves `$schema` in its types and conformance fixtures).

`Tool::Schema#to_h` now includes `"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema"`
unless the user supplied a different `$schema` value, so clients see the canonical dialect URI
on the wire.

Runtime metaschema and argument validation remain on draft-04 because the `json-schema` gem
does not yet support 2020-12. Switching the runtime validator is left as a separate change
because it requires either replacing the gem or waiting for upstream 2020-12 support.

## How Has This Been Tested?

Updated `Tool::Schema#to_h` expectations across `input_schema_test`, `output_schema_test`,
`tool_test`, and the `tools/list` server tests to reflect the new `$schema` field.
Added focused regression tests:

- `to_h` preserves a user-supplied `$schema` URI rather than overwriting it
  (covered for both symbol-keyed input and the string-keyed Hash form that
  goes through the initializer's `symbolize_names` normalization)
- `validate_arguments` / `validate_result` continue to work when the user supplies
  a 2020-12 `$schema` URI on the schema (the validator strips the unknown top-level
  dialect URI before invoking the draft-04 validator, instead of raising `JSON::Schema::SchemaError`)
- `tools/list` JSON-RPC response includes the 2020-12 `$schema` on both `inputSchema`
  and `outputSchema` (transport-boundary assertion)

`bundle exec rake test` and `bundle exec rake rubocop` both pass.

## Breaking Changes

Additive change. Tolerant consumers of the `tools/list` payload are unaffected.
Consumers that strictly assert hash equality on the emitted `inputSchema` / `outputSchema`
need to account for the new `$schema` key, but no schema semantics change.

Schemas using 2020-12-only keywords (e.g. `prefixItems`, nested `$schema` on subschemas)
are still rejected by the draft-04 metaschema validator, as before.
Lifting that restriction depends on adopting a 2020-12-capable validator and is out of scope
for this change.
