Support custom OAuthClientProviders (similar to TypeScript SDK) to enable custom authentication logic in client code

[smurching]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have multiple MCP servers hosted behind the same authorization server, and my client environment provides a get_oauth_token() API to get a short-lived access token. When writing custom agents or programs that connect to the MCP servers, I can use the APIs currently in main and manually specify headers to connect to each MCP server:

    token = get_oauth_token()
    # Repeat this for each server URL
    async with streamablehttp_client(url=f"{basic_server_url}/mcp/", headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'}) as (
        read_stream,
        write_stream,
        _,
    ):
        async with ClientSession(
            read_stream,
            write_stream,
        ) as session:
            await session.initialize()
            yield session

However, this of course isn't stable over time when I'm trying to authenticate using short-lived oauth access tokens (I'll get token expiry errors after 30 min etc).

Describe the solution you'd like
It seems we have a nice solution to implementing custom authentication behavior in MCP clients in the TypeScript SDK, where I can pass a custom OauthClientProvider when instantiating my client (e.g. here). Would it make sense to consider the same for the Python SDK? Happy to help with a contribution here :)
