Subject: [PATCH] Support streamable HTTP with persisted SSE Get

When connecting to an MCP server that supports making SSE GET requests client.Connect gets hung up waiting for the first notification from the server.

This change modifies the tests to simulate a server that keeps the stand alone SSE connection open.
It then adjusts the connection setup to run the standalone SSE connection in the background.
