Reject duplicate initialize requests (#350)
## Motivation and Context

The Ruby SDK accepted duplicate `initialize` requests after a session was already initialized.
On stdio, a second `initialize` silently overwrote the per-session `clientInfo` and `clientCapabilities`
(including with an older `protocolVersion`). On Streamable HTTP, every `initialize` minted a fresh
`Mcp-Session-Id` and `ServerSession`, abandoning the originally negotiated session.

MCP specification (`2025-06-18` / `2025-11-25` lifecycle) states that the initialization phase
MUST be the first interaction between client and server;
re-initialization on an established session is not part of the defined lifecycle.
TypeScript SDK rejects duplicate `initialize` on a live session with HTTP 400 + JSON-RPC `-32600`
("Invalid Request: Server already initialized"), and Python SDK does not mint a new session
on duplicate `initialize`. The Ruby SDK was the outlier; this change aligns it with the TypeScript SDK.

- `ServerSession` tracks an `@initialized` flag, exposed via `initialized?` and
  set by `mark_initialized!` after a successful `initialize` response.
- `Server#init` raises `RequestHandlerError(error_type: :invalid_request)` when
  the session is already initialized, which the existing error mapping converts
  to JSON-RPC `-32600 Invalid Request`.
- `StreamableHTTPTransport#handle_post` short-circuits at the transport layer:
  duplicate `initialize` against a live session returns HTTP 400 + JSON-RPC
  `-32600`; a stale or expired `Mcp-Session-Id` returns 404 (evicting the expired entry
  instead of misreporting it as a duplicate).
- `handle_initialization` evicts the registered session and omits the `Mcp-Session-Id`
  header when the first `initialize` fails before `mark_initialized!` is reached,
  so retries do not collide with an orphaned ID.
- Non-Hash JSON-RPC POST bodies (e.g. batched arrays, which are not supported in `2025-11-25`)
  are explicitly rejected with HTTP 400 + JSON-RPC `-32600` rather than falling through to
  an unparseable Rack response.

## How Has This Been Tested?

- Server tests: a second `initialize` on the same `ServerSession` returns
  `code: -32600` and the original `clientInfo` is preserved.
- Streamable HTTP tests: duplicate `initialize` with a live `Mcp-Session-Id`
  returns HTTP 400 + `-32600` and the original session remains usable for
  subsequent `ping`; stale `Mcp-Session-Id` returns 404; an idle-expired
  session is evicted on duplicate `initialize` and returns 404; a failed
  `initialize` (invalid `jsonrpc` envelope) does not leak `Mcp-Session-Id` and
  leaves `@sessions` empty; an array body is rejected with HTTP 400 + `-32600`.
- Stdio tests: a second `initialize` on the same stdio session returns
  `code: -32600` and the original `clientInfo` is preserved.

## Breaking Changes

Clients that previously sent `initialize` more than once on the same session
now receive a JSON-RPC error with `code: -32600` for the second and later requests
instead of silently overwriting session state (stdio) or being re-issued
a new `Mcp-Session-Id` (Streamable HTTP). Clients that follow the MCP specification
(single `initialize` per session) are unaffected.

Additionally, non-Hash JSON-RPC POST bodies on Streamable HTTP now return
HTTP 400 + JSON-RPC `-32600` rather than falling through to a broken Rack response.
The previous behavior produced an unparseable response, so this is unlikely to
affect any working client.

Closes #349.
