feat: add client-side SEP-1034 conformance test for elicitation defaults

Adds a conformance test that validates client SDKs properly apply
default values for omitted fields in elicitation responses per SEP-1034.

The test spins up a server that sends elicitation requests with defaults,
and validates that the client returns content with those defaults applied.
