* Remove AgentWithTools sample (UseFoundryTools no longer supported)

Remove the AgentWithTools hosted agent sample as the UseFoundryTools
backend is no longer supported. Updated HostedAgents README and solution
file to remove all references.

* Fix AgentWithHostedMCP: downgrade Azure.AI.OpenAI to 2.8.0-beta.1 for rc4 compatibility

Azure.AI.OpenAI 2.9.0-beta.1 has breaking changes (GetResponsesClient no
longer accepts deployment name, ResponsesClient.Model removed) that are
incompatible with Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI rc4. Pin to 2.8.0-beta.1 and
use GetResponsesClient(deploymentName).AsAIAgent() pattern.
