feat: relax outputSchema to accept non-object JSON Schema types (SEP-2106) (#895)

* fix: address PR review - schema_for_output no longer validates or returns Result

- Add strip_output() that strips title/description without validating type (Dale #1)
- Change schema_for_output to return Arc<JsonObject> instead of Result (Dale #2)
- Cache only Arc<JsonObject> success values, not Result (Dale #3)
- Remove dead unwrap_or_else panic paths in with_output_schema, ToolBase, and macros
- Tighten test assertions from contains to assert_eq on type field (Dale #4)
- Update test_schema_for_output_rejects_primitive to accept_primitive (SEP-2106)

* test(rmcp): add non-object output schema tests for SEP-2106

Add tests verifying schema_for_output accepts non-object types:
- test_tool_builder_methods: primitive (i32), array (Vec<String>), option
- test_structured_output: tool returning Json<Vec<T>> and Json<i32>
- test_json_schema_detection: Json<Vec<T>>, Result<Json<Vec<T>>,E>, Json<String>
- tool_traits: ToolBase::output_schema with Vec<AddOutput> output type

* test(rmcp): add missing edge case tests from code review

Add tests identified during code review:
- description stripping for primitive types
- composition types (Option<String> with anyOf/oneOf/null)
- cache correctness (Arc::ptr_eq for repeated calls)
- schema_for_input rejecting array types (not just primitives)
- schema_for_output accepting unit type ()

* feat!: mark schema_for_output return-type change as breaking

This introduces SEP-2106: schema_for_output no longer validates or
returns Result. The public signature changed, so bump major.

* fix: address Dale's PR review - direct schema.get assertions, remove ArrayTool

- Replace loose schema_str.contains(...) assertions with direct
  schema.get("type") equality checks in test_tool_builder_methods.rs
  and test_structured_output.rs
- Remove redundant ArrayTool fixture and its round-trip
  serde_json::from_str test from tool_traits.rs since schema is
  already Arc<JsonObject>
- Drop dead schema_str variable in test_structured_output.rs
