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.
The fix requires adding finally blocks to ensure response.aclose() always gets called.

+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.
