Python: Add Python A2A agent-as-function-tools sample (#4889)

* Add Python A2A agent-as-function-tools sample

Port of the .NET A2AAgent_AsFunctionTools sample to Python.
Resolves a remote A2A agent card, converts each skill to a
FunctionTool via as_tool(), and registers them with a host agent
using AzureOpenAIResponsesClient.

* Sanitize A2A skill names before passing to as_tool()

as_tool() only auto-sanitizes when name is omitted. Since we pass
skill.name explicitly, we need to strip special characters ourselves.

### 3. Run the Function Tools Sample
This sample resolves the remote agent's skills and registers each one as a function tool
on a host OpenAI-powered agent. The host agent then autonomously selects the right skill
to handle the user's request.
