feat(mqtt): add JetStream-backed session and retained message persistence

Add optional IStreamStore backing to MqttSessionStore and MqttRetainedStore,
enabling session and retained message state to survive process restarts via
JetStream persistence. Includes ConnectAsync/SaveSessionAsync for session
lifecycle, SetRetainedAsync/GetRetainedAsync with cleared-topic tombstone
tracking, and 4 new parity tests covering persist/restart/clear semantics.
