fix: widen errlog type hint to accept subprocess.DEVNULL

The errlog parameter in stdio_client and related functions was typed
as TextIO, which prevented passing subprocess.DEVNULL (an int) to
suppress stderr output from MCP server subprocesses. Both
subprocess.Popen and anyio.open_process already accept int values
for stderr, so widening the type to TextIO | int is safe.
