Surface resource, prompt, and proxy errors on the modern protocol era (#4579)
Three defects hidden by tests pinned to the handshake era, where a raw
exception reaches the wire as str(exc). At 2026-07-28 the runner masks
anything that is not an MCPError/ValidationError as "Internal server error".

- _on_read_resource / _on_get_prompt now translate FastMCPError through
  to_mcp_error, mirroring _on_call_tool. Masking is unchanged.
- FastMCPProxy registers a server/discover handler so upstream instructions
  reach modern clients; on_initialize only fires for the handshake.
- ProxyProvider's list methods normalize transport failures into MCPError.
