Add MCP-based skills discovery (McpSkill, McpSkillsSource, McpSkillResource)

Implement Agent Skills discovery over MCP following the SEP-2640 convention:
- McpSkillsSource: reads skill://index.json to discover skills served by an MCP server
- McpSkill: lazily fetches SKILL.md content via resources/read on demand
- McpSkillResource: wraps MCP resource results (text and binary)
- Path traversal protection in get_resource for defense in depth
- Samples for Foundry Toolbox and standalone MCP skills server
- Comprehensive unit tests (514 lines)

Foundry Chat Client with Toolbox-Hosted Skills
Discover Agent Skills served by a Microsoft Foundry Toolbox MCP endpoint
and inject them into a ``FoundryChatClient`` agent via ``McpSkillsSource``.
The toolbox's discovery document (``skill://index.json``) is read once at
startup; SKILL.md bodies are fetched on demand as the agent uses them.
Prerequisites:
- A Microsoft Foundry project with a toolbox that exposes
``skill://index.json`` with ``skill-md`` entries
- FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT and FOUNDRY_MODEL environment variables set
- FOUNDRY_TOOLBOX_MCP_SERVER_URL: the toolbox's MCP endpoint URL, e.g.
``https://<account>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<project>/toolboxes/<name>/mcp?api-version=v1``
- Azure CLI authentication (``az login``)
