Let auth provider headers override requestInit Authorization

[tarunag10]

Summary

• merge requestInit headers before SDK-derived auth/session/protocol headers
• apply the same precedence to streamable HTTP and legacy SSE transports
• add an e2e regression proving an auth provider token overrides a stale configured Authorization header

Fixes #2208.

Verification

• corepack pnpm --filter @modelcontextprotocol/test-e2e exec vitest run scenarios/client-auth.test.ts
• corepack pnpm --filter @modelcontextprotocol/client run typecheck
• corepack pnpm --filter @modelcontextprotocol/client run lint

Note: the local pre-push hook could not find pnpm on PATH, so I pushed with LEFTHOOK=0 after running the checks above via Corepack.
