Address review on Foundry Toolbox MCP samples

Reviewed feedback addressed:

- Drop the branch-pinned `git+https://...@feature/...` entries from
  `04_foundry_toolbox/requirements.txt`; restore the simple comment + `mcp`
  runtime dep. The git pins were only useful while iterating on the PR and
  shouldn't ship. (eavanvalkenburg)

- Fix the `/toolsets/` typo in both `04_foundry_toolbox/README.md` and
  `06_files/README.md`. Verified empirically against the
  research_toolbox in the test workspace: the toolbox MCP gateway lives at
  `/toolboxes/{name}/mcp?api-version=v1` and requires the
  `Foundry-Features: Toolboxes=V1Preview` header. `/toolsets/{name}/mcp`
  returns 403 with `preview_feature_required: Toolsets=V1Preview` (a
  different opt-in feature).

- Wrap `httpx.AsyncClient(...)` in `async with ... as http_client:` in both
  samples so the connection pool is cleaned up. (Copilot reviewer)

- Make the `TOOLBOX_NAME` env var consistent in both samples. Previously the
  tool name silently fell back to `"toolbox"` when `TOOLBOX_NAME` was unset,
  but `resolve_toolbox_endpoint()` still required `TOOLBOX_NAME` and would
  raise `KeyError`. The samples now resolve the endpoint once and derive the
  tool name from the resolved URL when `TOOLBOX_NAME` isn't set, so the
  local tool name always matches the upstream toolbox identity regardless
  of which env var the user set. (Copilot reviewer)

- Rename `_responses.is_consent_error` to `consent_url_from_error`: the
  helper returns `str | None` (the consent URL), not a bool, so the new
  name matches behavior. Update the test class accordingly. (eavanvalkenburg)

- Tighten `_handle_inner_agent`'s lazy-entry catch from `Exception` to
  `AgentFrameworkException`, the type the MCP layer actually wraps consent
  errors in via `MCPStreamableHTTPTool.__aenter__` →
  `ToolExecutionException(inner_exception=mcp_error)`. Network failures,
  cancellations, and other non-framework exceptions now propagate normally
  instead of being briefly caught and re-raised. The test helper
  `_make_consent_error` is updated to use `ToolExecutionException` so it
  matches the real-world wrapping. (eavanvalkenburg)

- Clarify the `github_pat` description in `agent.manifest.yaml` to note
  it's only needed when the PAT-based connection (`github-mcp-pat-conn`)
  is chosen; users selecting the OAuth2 connection (`github-mcp-oauth-conn`)
  can leave it empty. (Copilot reviewer)

Validation: ran both samples end-to-end against a real Foundry toolbox
(`research_toolbox`) -- the samples connect successfully and the agent
lists the toolbox's MCP tools (`api_specs___fetch_azure_rest_api_docs`,
etc.). `uv run poe test -P foundry_hosting` passes (119 tests), pyright +
mypy clean.

The Agent Framework MCP layer surfaces gateway consent failures by wrapping the underlying

exc: The exception to check.
