fix: preserve experimental capability settings

[victor-openai]

Motivation

Experimental App and Host capability entries are parsed as empty objects, stripping namespaced declarations during ui/initialize. Preserve their keys and settings in both capability maps.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the MCP Apps capability schema so experimental capabilities sent during ui/initialize preserve their namespaced keys and associated settings, instead of being parsed into empty objects.

Changes:

• Updated App and Host capability type definitions to model experimental as a keyed map instead of an empty object.
• Regenerated Zod and JSON schemas so experimental is a record (preserving keys/settings) rather than z.object({}) (which strips unknown keys).
• Extended the App ↔ Host initialization integration test to include experimental entries and assert they round-trip correctly.

File	Description
src/spec.types.ts	Changes experimental capability typing from {} to a keyed record type for both host and app capabilities.
src/generated/schema.ts	Updates Zod schemas to validate/preserve experimental as a record rather than stripping keys via z.object({}).
src/generated/schema.json	Updates the emitted JSON schema to allow arbitrary additionalProperties for experimental entries instead of rejecting/stripping them.
src/app-bridge.test.ts	Adds coverage ensuring experimental capabilities survive the initialization handshake intact.
specification/draft/apps.mdx	Updates the draft specification examples/types to document the new keyed experimental shape.
