Clarifies how servers and clients should treat
serverInfo.descriptionand initialize-resultinstructions.The new text distinguishes server discovery/selection metadata from model-facing usage guidance, and notes that instructions should provide server-level guidance without duplicating individual tool, resource, or prompt descriptions.
Addresses #2146.
Note: I saw #2602, which adds a broader server instructions guide. This PR is intentionally narrower: it updates the lifecycle/specification text in both the current dated spec and draft spec, so it can complement that guide rather than replace it.
