[BREAKING] Python: Fix workflow as agent streaming output (#3649)

* WIP: with_output_from

* Add with_output_from to other modules; next: workflow as agent

* WIP: remove agent run events

* orchestrations

* WIP: update samples; next start at guessing_game_With_human_input.py

* Update all samples

* WIP: consolidate workflow as agent streaming vs non-streaming

* Consolidate workflow as agent streaming vs non-streaming

* Move request info event processing to a share method

* Final pass on the samples

* Fix mypy

* Fix mypy

* Comments

"""
Sample: AzureOpenAI Chat Agents in workflow with human feedback
Pipeline layout:
writer_agent -> Coordinator -> writer_agent -> Coordinator -> final_editor_agent -> Coordinator -> output
The writer agent drafts marketing copy. A custom executor emits a RequestInfoEvent so a human can comment,
then relays the human guidance back into the conversation before the final editor agent produces the polished
output.
Demonstrates:
- Capturing agent responses in a custom executor.
- Emitting RequestInfoEvent to request human input.
- Handling human feedback and routing it to the appropriate agents.
Prerequisites:
- Azure OpenAI configured for AzureOpenAIChatClient with required environment variables.
- Authentication via azure-identity. Run `az login` before executing.
