Evan Mattson 4508e8d966 Python: properly handle types while building the schema (#6469)
### Motivation and Context

While parsing the kernel function's arguments, we recurse to the type's
base origin and then set that as the `type_object`. For a type like
`list[MyCustomClass]` only setting the `type_object` as `list` has us
lose out on the other valuable information of the list's type, which is
`MyCustomClass` and what attributes it contains within. This then leads
us to build an incomplete schema when creating the kernel function
parameters and ultimately when we send the JSON schema to the model
during tool calls.

### Description

This PR:
- Closes #6466 
- Refactors the kernel function decorator code to parse
arguments/parameters. We now grab the `type_object` of the
parameter/argument in question, which is used to build the JSON schema.
- Fixes the schema building for the types we build. We were missing
`required` parameters as well.
- Attempts to handle as many edge cases as possible, although there are
probably more that we aren't handling right now -- for example properly
handling all schemas for Unions is tricky.
- Adds unit tests to make sure we are building the JSON schema as
expected. All unit, integration and sample tests are passing.
- Handles a `TypeError` exception during auto function calling where the
model sends back an argument like `2`, which doesn't cause JSON parsing
to fail, but will fail when trying to update the argument dictionary.
