* Replace Hosted*Tool classes with client static factory methods

* fixed failing test

* mypy fix

* mypy fix 2

* declarative mypy fix

* addressed comments

* ToolProtocol removal

* fixed test

* agents mypy fix

* fix failing tests

* mypy fix

* addressed comments

* fixed tests

* addressed comments + added factory method overrides for azureai v2 client

* mypy fix

* added kwargs to azureai tool methods

* fixed in test

* _sessions fix

* test fix
