feat: add support for custom client notifications (#556)

MCP servers, particularly ones that offer "experimental" capabilities,
may wish to handle custom client notifications that are not part of the
standard MCP specification. This change introduces a new
`CustomClientNotification` type that allows a server to process
such custom notifications.

- introduces `CustomClientNotification` to carry arbitrary methods/params while
  still preserving meta/extensions; wires it into the `ClientNotification` union
  and `serde` so `params` can be decoded with `params_as`
- allows server handlers to receive custom notifications via a new
  `on_custom_notification` hook
- adds integration coverage that sends a custom client notification end-to-end
  and asserts the server sees the method and payload

Test:

```shell
cargo test -p rmcp --features client test_custom_client_notification_reaches_server
```
