✅ Remove unreachable guard in get_sse_data_type; add subclass coverage test

Pydantic BaseModel subclasses always have __pydantic_generic_metadata__, so
the `if not meta` early-return was dead code. Collapse it into a ternary and
add a test for a plain (non-parameterized) ServerSentEvent subclass to reach
the `not args` branch, bringing fastapi/sse.py to 100% coverage.
