### Motivation and Context
KernelConfig isn't needed as it's less pythonic and is not used
independently from Kernel. This moves all its methods and members into
Kernel.
### Description
- Removed KernelConfig
- Put KernelConfig's methods and variables into Kernel
- Ran unit and end-to-end tests
- Did not run notebooks because they are out of date with the current
repo.

### Motivation and Context
To make the Python SK more pythonic, combined all kernel.run_* methods
into a single method with optional parameters.
### Description
- Removed `kernel.run_on_vars_async()`
- Removed `kernel.run_on_str_async()`
- Added `SKContext`, `ContextVariables`, and string params to
`kernel.run_async()`
- Moved `run_on_vars_async()` logic to `run_async()` method
- Arranged method params so that required params come before optional
params.
- Updated tests and notebooks where applicable.
### Motivation and Context
Right now, there are lots of Config classes in SK. This doesn't feel
very "pythonic" and can be a bit confusing at times. To reduce the
amount of indirection, this PR removes several config classes from the
Python port.
NOTE: this PR is also critical preparation for a large change to re-sync
with how C# SK handles multi-modality. I have changes ready for adding a
`./connectors` dir and syncing with the Text/Chat/Image/Embedding
support, but there's a few "prep" PRs I need to get through first.
### Description
This PR makes the following changes:
1. We remove the `(Azure)OpenAIConfig` classes (simplifying the code
related to creating/managing backends)
2. We remove the `./configuration` sub-directory and move the
`KernelConfig` class to the module's root dir (this mirrors the C#
version)
3. We re-tool the `KernelConfig` class to behave similarly to the
current C# version (again, this is prep for later changes RE
multi-modality)
4. We make corresponding updates across the code/tests now that we've
removed some config classes
In future PRs, it'd be great to also simplify:
1. `(Chat|Completion)RequestSettings`
2. `(ReadOnly)SkillsCollection` and related classes
3. Take a hard look at `ContextVariables` and `SKContext` (maybe
`ContextVariables` is just a `dict` in SK python)
### Motivation and Context
The C# Semantic Kernel has recently undergone an upgrade to its
`PromptTemplateEngine`. This brings Python back in line with the
semantics of Prompt Templates in C#.
### Description
Here, unlike the original port, I've tried to make things more
pythonic/idiomatic (instead of trying to directly mirror the C#
codebase). I've also brought over the corresponding unit tests (and
added some of my own as I was building/validating).
