Evan Mattson 30d2b0802a Python: Support Process State Management (#11637)
### Motivation and Context

SK Python processes have been missing support to be able to serialize
and deserialize JSON state for a process and its steps. This PR brings
in the functionality to allow the developer to do so. The
`getting_started_with_processes` step03 has been update to reflect this
latest functionality. It is possible to dump a JSON state to a file, and
reload the state to continue running the process.

State metadata that handles the version for steps is managed via a
decorator:

```python
@kernel_process_step_metadata("CutFoodStep.V1")
class CutFoodStep(KernelProcessStep):
    class Functions(Enum):
        ChopFood = "ChopFood"
        SliceFood = "SliceFood"
```

If no decorator/state is supplied the step will be built with a default
state version of "v1" which aligns with .Net.
