feat: Add HTTP-Streaming support for MCP with backward compatibility
- Add HTTP-Streaming transport module for Python MCP implementation - Update main MCP module to support transport selection (auto, sse, http-streaming) - Add TypeScript HTTP-Streaming transport implementation - Create unified MCP class for TypeScript with transport selection - Maintain full backward compatibility for existing code - Auto-detect transport based on URL patterns (/sse uses SSE, others use HTTP-streaming) - Add example demonstrating transport selection usage Fixes #722 Co-authored-by: Mervin Praison <MervinPraison@users.noreply.github.com>
