2.14 deprecation removals (#2329)
* Initialize 2.14 deprecation removal branch

* Remove deprecated FASTMCP_SERVER_ environment variable prefix (#2330)

* Remove deprecated Context.get_http_request method (#2332)

* Remove fastmcp.Image top-level import (deprecated 2.8.1) (#2334)

* Remove test warnings (#2331)

* Create new branch and fix issue

* Remove deprecated client parameter from FastMCPProxy (#2333)

* Remove deprecated run_streamable_http_async method (#2338)

* Remove deprecated sse_app method (#2337)

* Remove deprecated run_sse_async method (#2335)

* Remove deprecated run_sse_async method

* Update CLI and tests to use run_http_async(transport="sse")

- Change CLI to call run_http_async with transport="sse" instead of run_sse_async
- Update test to mock run_http_async with create=True for v1 servers

* Revert CLI changes - v1 servers do have run_sse_async

- Keep CLI calling run_sse_async() for v1 compatibility
- Update test to mock run_sse_async (which exists on v1)

* Remove unnecessary type ignore for run_sse_async

Method exists on v1 FastMCP class, no type error

* Remove unused imports after test deletion

* Remove deprecated streamable_http_app method (#2336)

* Remove deprecated dependencies parameter from FastMCP constructor (#2340)

* Remove output_schema=False support (deprecated 2.11.4) (#2339)

* Remove deprecated client parameter from FastMCPProxy (#2333)

Tests functionality that has been removed

* Remove deprecated BearerAuthProvider module (#2341)

* Remove resource_prefix_format="protocol" support (deprecated 2.4.0) (#2342)

* Remove resource_prefix_format="protocol" support (fixes #2195)

Removes deprecated protocol format (prefix+resource://path) and keeps only
path format (resource://prefix/path). Since only one format remains:

- Removed resource_prefix_format from settings, FastMCP.__init__, and helpers
- Simplified add_resource_prefix, remove_resource_prefix, has_resource_prefix
- Removed MountedServer.resource_prefix_format field
- Deleted tests for protocol format

All resource prefixes now use path format exclusively.

* Clean up resource_prefix_format references

- Remove from test files
- Update documentation to remove protocol format section
- Move custom HTTP routes note to mounting section
- Remove resource_prefix_format from settings docs

* Use inline version note instead of badge for prefix format

* Remove obsolete test functions and update docs

- Delete test functions that no longer assert anything
- Remove proxy.mdx reference to deleted prefix format section

* Format error messages per ruff

* Remove from_client classmethod (deprecated 2.8.0) (#2343)

* Remove deprecated from_client classmethod (fixes #2192)

* Remove unused Client import

* Remove add_resource_fn method (deprecated 2.7.0) (#2345)

* Update SDK

* Add missing imports for exclude_args deprecation warning
