`ClientConfig` has inconsistent naming: `message_handler` should be `message_callback`

Initial Checks

• I confirm that I'm using the latest version of MCP Python SDK
• I confirm that I searched for my issue in https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/issues before opening this issue

Description

ClientConfig exposes five user-facing callback fields, but four of them use the *_callback suffix while one uses *_handler:

# src/mcp/client/client.py
sampling_callback: SamplingFnT | None = None
list_roots_callback: ListRootsFnT | None = None
logging_callback: LoggingFnT | None = None
elicitation_callback: ElicitationFnT | None = None
message_handler: MessageHandlerFnT | None = None  # ← inconsistent

The same inconsistency is present in ClientSession.__init__ and ServerConnectionParams:

# src/mcp/client/session.py
def __init__(self, ..., message_handler: MessageHandlerFnT | None = None, ...)

# src/mcp/client/session_group.py
class ServerConnectionParams:
    message_handler: MessageHandlerFnT | None = None

A TODO comment in the codebase already flags this:

# TODO(Marcelo): Why do we have both "callback" and "handler"?
message_handler: MessageHandlerFnT | None = None

Proposed Fix

Rename message_handler → message_callback consistently across all three sites:

Since this is the v2 rewrite on main, a breaking rename is appropriate and there is no need for a deprecation shim.

I'd like to take this on if you're open to a fix.

從 src/mcp/client/client.py 中的 callback 定義和轉送呼叫開始，接著追蹤 src/mcp/client/session.py 中相關的參數和內部屬性。檢查 src/mcp/client/session_group.py 中的 ServerConnectionParams，以及 src/mcp/client/main.py 中的區域變數和關鍵字引數。完成的標準是四個位置都一致使用 message_callback，且此流程中不再有 message_handler 命名。
