Koichi ITO b89f6e315d Remove Server#notify_progress broadcast API
## Motivation and Context

`Server#notify_progress` broadcasts progress notifications to all connected clients.
Progress notifications are tied to a specific request's `progressToken` and have no
meaningful broadcast use case. Neither the Python SDK nor the TypeScript SDK provides
a server-level progress broadcast capability.

The MCP specification requires that progress notifications only reference tokens
provided in an active request:

> Progress notifications MUST only reference tokens that:
> - Were provided in an active request
> - Are associated with an in-progress operation

Ref: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/basic/utilities/progress

Broadcasting progress to all clients does not comply with this requirement,
since clients that did not originate the request have no matching `progressToken`.

The introduction of `ServerSession` for per-connection state (#275) made
this removal possible: `Progress` and `ServerContext` now use `notification_target:`
(a `ServerSession`) to route notifications to the originating session only.

### Changes

- Removed `Server#notify_progress` entirely. The method is no longer needed as
  `notification_target` in `call_tool_with_args` now passes `session` directly
  (nil when no session is available, in which case `Progress#report` and
  `ServerContext#notify_log_message` are no-ops).
- Removed `ServerContext#notify_progress` as well. Progress notifications should
  only be sent via `server_context.report_progress`, which enforces the correct
  `progressToken` from the originating request.
- Added nil guards to `Progress#report` and `ServerContext#notify_log_message`
  for when no session is available.
- Rewrote progress tests to use `ServerSession#handle` instead of
  `Server#handle`, reflecting that progress notifications are always session-scoped.
- Removed 4 tests that called `server.notify_progress` directly as a public broadcast API.
- Removed `notify_progress` from the README.md notification methods list.
- Removed the "Server-Side: Direct `notify_progress` Usage" section from the README.md.

Progress notifications should be sent via `server_context.report_progress` inside tool handlers,
which automatically scopes them to the originating client session.

## Breaking Changes

Progress notifications are scoped to a specific request via `progressToken` per the MCP specification,
so the broadcast behavior of `Server#notify_progress` was a spec violation.
This is treated as a bug fix and is made without a deprecation period.
This aligns the Ruby SDK with the Python and TypeScript SDKs, neither of which provides
a server-level progress broadcast API.

`Server#notify_progress` and `ServerContext#notify_progress` are no longer available.
Users should use `server_context.report_progress` inside tool handlers instead, which
provides session-scoped delivery with the correct `progressToken`.

This feature was only recently introduced in mcp 0.9.0:
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ruby-sdk/releases/tag/v0.9.0

So an early release should help limit its impact on adoption.
