Fix NameError with future annotations and Context/Depends parameters (#3243)

* Fix NameError with future annotations and Context/Depends parameters

Closes #3238, closes #905

* chore: Update SDK documentation

* Drop unnecessary pre-resolution of annotations

Pydantic (even 2.11.7) uses __module__ not __globals__ to resolve
annotations, so setting __module__ alone is sufficient.

* chore: Update SDK documentation

* Restore annotation pre-resolution for Pydantic compat

The wrapper's __globals__ is read-only and points to dependencies.py,
so some Pydantic versions use it instead of __module__ when resolving
string annotations. Pre-resolving via get_type_hints on the original
function ensures annotations are type objects before Pydantic sees them.

* chore: Update SDK documentation
