MCP overhaul strips sessions, shifting state to per-call metadata for lean servers

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) gets its biggest update since launch: persistent sessions and the initialization handshake are removed, with identity and capabilities now carried in per-call metadata and a new server/discover method added.
