Add tests for resource leak in streamable_http SSE handlers

Fixes #1450 - HTTP responses don't get closed properly when SSE streaming fails
with exceptions in _handle_sse_response and _handle_resumption_request.

The issue: when the async for loop throws an exception, response.aclose()
never gets called because it's only in the success path.

Added reproduction script and pytest tests to demonstrate the problem.

+Reproduction script for the resource leak I found in streamable_http.py
+
+I noticed that when SSE streaming fails, the HTTP response doesn't get closed properly.
+This happens in both _handle_sse_response and _handle_resumption_request methods.
+
+The problem: if the async for loop throws an exception (like malformed JSON or network issues),
+the response.aclose() call never happens because it's only in the success path.
+
+Files affected:
+- src/mcp/client/streamable_http.py (lines 336 and 251)
+
+This can cause connection pool exhaustion over time in production.
