fix(mcp): make non-MCP HTTP endpoint fast-fail robust and non-retryable

Reworks the content-type preflight so a misconfigured HTTP MCP url (a web-app
root serving HTML) fails in <1s instead of hanging the full 60s connect_timeout
— and does so non-retryably, which neither original PR achieved.

- Allow-list detection (application/json, text/event-stream) instead of a
  text/html-only denylist — catches text/plain, application/xml, etc.
- New NonMcpEndpointError(ConnectionError); run() catches it in the same
  top-level fast-fail block as InvalidMcpUrlError, so it returns before the
  reconnect-backoff loop (truly non-retryable) and the probe runs once, not
  on every reconnect.
- Probe runs on its own httpx client OUTSIDE the SDK anyio task group, so the
  error propagates as itself rather than wrapped in an ExceptionGroup (the
  trap that made the in-SDK event-hook approach a no-op).
- Forwards ssl_verify + client_cert + headers; HEAD->GET fallback on 405/501;
  best-effort pass-through on missing content type, non-2xx, and network
  errors; skips SSE transport. CancelledError is never swallowed.
- Replaces the malformed test file (which never imported the real method and
  failed CI) with 21 tests driving the actual _preflight_content_type against
  a real local HTTP server, plus full run() integration verifying <1s
  non-retryable failure.

"""Tests for _MCPServer._preflight_content_type early-fail behaviour."""
"""Tests for MCPServerTask._preflight_content_type fast-fail behaviour.
These drive the REAL ``_preflight_content_type`` method against a real local
HTTP server (via httpx's ASGI/transport plumbing through a stdlib server),
rather than reimplementing the probe inline. That distinction matters: the
production probe must run on its own httpx client outside the MCP SDK's anyio
task group, and a faithful test must exercise that actual method so the
content-type allow-list, HEAD->GET fallback, and best-effort pass-through are
all covered as shipped.
