Descrizione

## What happened

The JSON-RPC client maps an error response from a unary request to a typed A2A error, but wraps the same error envelope from an SSE stream in a generic `Error`.

For example, JSON-RPC error code `-32001` is exposed as `TaskNotFoundError` by `SendMessage`. When it arrives as an SSE error event from `SendStreamingMessage`, the caught error instead has `name === "Error"` and fails `instanceof JsonRpcTaskNotFoundError`; the typed error is only available through `error.cause`.

## What I expected

The same JSON-RPC error envelope should produce the same typed A2A error regardless of whether it arrives through a unary response or an SSE error event. Callers should be able to use the SDK's error classes consistently for branching, retries, and recovery.

## Steps to reproduce

1. Create a `JsonRpcTransport` with a fetch implementation that returns HTTP 200 and `Content-Type: text/event-stream`.
2. Return an SSE error event whose data is a matching JSON-RPC response with error code `-32001` and message `"Task not found"`.
3. Iterate `sendMessageStream()` and catch the thrown error.
4. Observe that the error is a generic `Error`; its `cause` is the typed `TaskNotFoundError`.
5. Return the same JSON-RPC error envelope from `sendMessage()` and observe that the typed error is thrown directly.

## Additional context

Minimal comparison:

```text
unary: name=TaskNotFoundError, typed=true
streaming: name=Error, typed=false, cause=TaskNotFoundError
```

This makes streaming and non-streaming calls expose different public error contracts for the same protocol failure. Mapping and throwing the SSE error envelope directly would preserve the semantic and JSON-RPC-specific error information.
