Evan Mattson 0636b17061 Python: Introduce the function calling stepwise planner (#5350)
### Motivation and Context

To further align with the SK dotnet SDK and its functionality, the
Python SDK needs a function calling stepwise planner. Now that we have
auto tool calling available, it makes sense to introduce this planner.

### Description

This PR:

and planner result. Closes #4642
- Introduces a kernel example `function_calling_stepwise_planner.py` to
exercise the planner and show how it works.
- Adds unit tests and an integration test.
