.NET: feat: Update GroupChatManager semantics to match other Orchestration patterns (#6140)

* Refactor group chat workflow to prevent message echoing and enhance checkpointing

- Updated GroupChatWorkflowBuilder to disable forwarding incoming messages to prevent duplicates.
- Enhanced RoundRobinGroupChatManager with checkpointing support to preserve state across executions.
- Modified GroupChatHost to maintain a history of messages and track the current speaker for message broadcasting.
- Implemented broadcasting logic to ensure participants receive messages from others while excluding their own responses.
- Added comprehensive unit tests for group chat orchestration, including scenarios for tool approval and function calls.
- Introduced a new ApprovalHarness for testing tool invocation and approval workflows.

* fixup: format

* Add JSON serialization support for GroupChatManagerState and RoundRobinGroupChatManagerState
