Adds a ## Testing section to the server guide explaining how to unit-test MCP servers in-process using InMemoryTransport, without spawning subprocesses or opening ports. Includes a working vitest/jest example for testing a tool, and notes on what the approach does and does not cover. Closes modelcontextprotocol#1126
