Set default protocol version to the latest specification

Currently, MCP has three versions: 2024-11-05, 2025-03-26, and 2025-06-18.

- https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/basic/transports (stdio and HTTP with SSE)
- https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/transports (stdio and Streamable HTTP)
- https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/basic/transports (stdio and Streamable HTTP)

The newer specification supports stdio and Streamable HTTP as transport mechanisms.
Only the oldest version, 2024-11-05, supports stdin and HTTP with SSE,
but that version is now considered legacy.

Given the current behavior of the Ruby SDK, it likely makes more sense to set
the default protocol version to the latest one, 2025-06-18, rather than the oldest, 2024-11-05.

Ideally, the implementation should adjust its behavior based on the version,
but this PR is limited to updating the default protocol version only.
