Fix stale request context in StatefulProxyClient handlers (#3172)

* fix: restore request context in StatefulProxyClient handlers

StatefulProxyClient reuses sessions across requests, so its receive-loop
task inherits a stale request_ctx ContextVar from the first request.
Server-initiated messages (elicitation, sampling, etc.) that depend on
related_request_id routing get sent to a closed stream and hang forever.

Closes #3169

* chore: Update SDK documentation

This is useful to proxy a stateful mcp server such as the Playwright MCP server.
Note that it is essential to ensure that the proxy server itself is also stateful.
Because session reuse means the receive-loop task inherits a stale
``request_ctx`` ContextVar snapshot, the default proxy handlers are
replaced with versions that restore the ContextVar before forwarding.
``ProxyTool.run`` stashes the current ``RequestContext`` in
``_proxy_rc_ref`` before each backend call, and the handlers consult
it to detect (and correct) staleness.
