### Motivation and Context <!-- Thank you for your contribution to the semantic-kernel repo! Please help reviewers and future users, providing the following information: 1. Why is this change required? 2. What problem does it solve? 3. What scenario does it contribute to? 4. If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. --> Users of the Agent Framework are unable to store and later retrieve conversation state when using an AgentChat to coordinate Agent interactions. This limits the ability for an agent conversation to single use as it must be maintained with memory of the process that initiated the conversation. Formalizing a mechanism that supports serialization and deserialization of any AgentChat class provides an avenue to capture and restore state across multiple sessions as well as compute boundaries. ### Description <!-- Describe your changes, the overall approach, the underlying design. These notes will help understanding how your code works. Thanks! --> Design in ADR form for input, exploration of alternatives, and review. ### Contribution Checklist <!-- Before submitting this PR, please make sure: --> - [X] The PR follows the [SK Contribution Guidelines](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) and the [pre-submission formatting script](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#development-scripts) raises no violations - [X] I didn't break anyone 😄
