Evan Mattson c3ab713322 Python: Add support for Azure AI Agent Service (#10414)
### Motivation and Context

Azure AI Agents are a managed offering, and are built on top of the
OpenAI assistant v2 APIs. Until now we have not had support for them in
SK Python. This PR adds support for Azure AI Agents in SK Python. The
current abstractions allow one to run managed Azure AI Agents using SK
constructs as is demonstrated via the getting started samples and/or the
`azure_ai_agent` concept code samples. The developer must first follow
the required Azure AI Agent deployment steps, and bring their connection
string as well as their model deployment name.

### Description

Add support for Azure AI Agent Service in SK
- Add sample code
- Add unit tests
- Restructures the `getting_started_with_agents` samples to move the
respective agent code into folders like `chat_completion`,
`azure_ai_agent`, etc. Updates the README as well.
- Closes #10187 

**TODO**: add more test coverage either in this PR, or a subsequent one.
