* Python: add ToolResultCompactionStrategy and CompactionProvider

Add ToolResultCompactionStrategy that collapses older tool-call groups
into short summary messages (e.g. [Tool calls: get_weather]) while
keeping the most recent groups verbatim. This mirrors the .NET
ToolResultCompactionStrategy from PR #4533.

Add CompactionProvider as a context-provider that auto-applies compaction
before each agent turn and stores compacted history in session state
after each turn.

Includes tests and samples for both features.

* refinement and alignment with dotnet PR

* updated tool result compaction

* updated tool result compaction

* Python: add ToolResultCompactionStrategy, CompactionProvider, and skip_excluded

- ToolResultCompactionStrategy collapses older tool-call groups into
  [Tool results: func_name: result] summaries with bidirectional tracing
  (same pattern as SummarizationStrategy).
- CompactionProvider as BaseContextProvider with separate before_strategy
  and after_strategy parameters. before_strategy compacts loaded context;
  after_strategy compacts stored history via history_source_id.
- InMemoryHistoryProvider gains skip_excluded flag to filter out messages
  marked as excluded by compaction strategies.
- Tests, samples, and exports updated.

* Fix: ensure summary messages from both strategies get full compaction annotations

SummarizationStrategy was not calling annotate_message_groups after
inserting its summary message, so the summary lacked core group
annotations (id, kind, index, has_reasoning, _excluded). Added the
missing call. ToolResultCompactionStrategy already had it.

Added tests verifying both strategies produce fully annotated summaries.

### Implementation Rollout Note
Implementation is split into two phases:
1. **Phase 1 (PR 1):** runtime compaction foundation in `agent_framework/_compaction.py`, in-run integration, and extensive core tests, plus in-run compaction samples (`basics`, `advanced`, `custom`).
2. **Phase 2 (PR 2):** history/storage compaction (`upsert`-based full replacement), provider support, storage tests, and storage-focused sample (`storage`).
