Session restoration is broken if the client doesn't set a log level #72

Description

@cykod

Trying to use the Redis session crashes when a server tries to restore a session because the log_level is nil, but required.

iex(20)> {:ok, keys} = Redix.command(conn, ["KEYS", "mcp:sessions:*"])
{:ok, ["mcp:sessions:session_GICSuMQUiNGQQ0qN1rE="]}
iex(21)> {:ok, json} = Redix.command(conn, ["GET", List.first(keys)])
{:ok,
 "{\"id\":\"session_GICSuMQUiNGQQ0qN1rE=\",\"client_info\":{\"name\":\"Postman Client\",\"version\":\"1.0.0\"},\"initialized\":true,\"log_level\":null,\"protocol_version\":\"2025-03-26\",\"pending_requests\":{},\"client_capabilities\":{\"elicitation\":{},\"sampling\":{}}}"}
iex(22)> Jason.decode!(json)
%{
  "client_capabilities" => %{"elicitation" => %{}, "sampling" => %{}},
  "client_info" => %{"name" => "Postman Client", "version" => "1.0.0"},
  "id" => "session_GICSuMQUiNGQQ0qN1rE=",
  "initialized" => true,
  "log_level" => nil,
  "pending_requests" => %{},
  "protocol_version" => "2025-03-26"
}

Leading to a GenServer crash:

{:bad_return_value, {:error, {{:badmatch, {:error, [%Peri.Error{path: [:log_level], key: :log_level, content: %{expected: :string}, message: "is required, expected type of :string", errors: nil}]}}, [{Anubis.Server.Session, :maybe_restore_session, 3, [file: ~c"lib/anubis/server/session.ex", line: 193]}, {Anubis.Server.Session, :start_link, 1, [file: ~c"lib/anubis/server/session.ex", line: 57]}, {DynamicSupervisor, :start_child, 3, [file: ~c"lib/dynamic_supervisor.ex", line: 765]}, {DynamicSupervisor, :handle_start_child, 2, [file: ~c"lib/dynamic_supervisor.ex", line: 751]}, {:gen_server, :try_handle_call, 4, [file: ~c"gen_server.erl", line: 2381]}, {:gen_server, :handle_msg, 6, [file: ~c"gen_server.erl", line: 2410]}, {:proc_lib, :init_p_do_apply, 3, [file: ~c"proc_lib.erl", line: 329]}]}}}

Quick fix might just be to add a default here:
https://github.com/zoedsoupe/anubis-mcp/blob/main/lib/anubis/server/session.ex#L25

The server should also likely be more resilient to problems in the session and default to just not restoring bad sessions. As is, Anubis appears to be unusable when running one more than 1 server (without sticky session cookies.)
