Support for API Gateway Path Prefixes in SSE Client URL Handling

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using the client SDK to connect MCP server behind an API gateway that adds a deployment-specific prefix (e.g., /gateway_prefix/<deployment_name>), the backend mcp server is unaware of this prefix and only exposes routes like /v1/sse and /v1/messages. The client SDK currently only supports url and uses urljoin to resolve endpoint URLs, which causes the gateway prefix to be dropped when joining paths that start with /. This results in incorrect routing through the gateway.

Describe the solution you'd like
The client SDK should preserve the gateway prefix when joining endpoint URLs, so that requests are routed correctly through the gateway. Ideally, the SDK should provide a way to configure or detect the gateway prefix and ensure all endpoint URLs are constructed with it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Example:

url = "https://example.com/gateway_prefix/<deployment_name>/v1/sse"
path = "/v1/messages"
urljoin(url, path)
# Actual:   https://example.com/v1/messages
# Expected: https://example.com/gateway_prefix/<deployment_name>/v1/messages

This is a common pattern for API gateways and reverse proxies, so supporting this would improve compatibility.

Comece em src/mcp/client/sse.py, no tratamento de URL relacionado à URL do cliente e à chamada de urljoin. Reproduza o exemplo de gateway-prefix da issue e inspecione como o endpoint SSE fornece o caminho messages. Está concluído quando o endpoint messages preserva o prefixo específico da implantação, mantendo o comportamento existente das URLs.
