SergeyMenshykh dfc3079d68 .NET: Add A2A input-request content for human-in-the-loop scenarios (#5743)
* .NET: Add A2A input-request content for human-in-the-loop scenarios

Adds first-class support for handling user input requests from A2A agents
when they return an `input-required` task state.

- Add `A2AInputRequestContent` (wraps the requested `AIContent`) and
  `A2AInputResponseContent` (wraps the user's `AIContent` reply), with
  `CreateResponse` helper overloads on the request type.
- Surface input requests on `AgentResponse` / `AgentResponseUpdate` via
  `AgentTask` and `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` mappings.
- Link follow-up messages containing `A2AInputResponseContent` to the
  existing task via `TaskId` instead of `ReferenceTaskIds`.
- Add `A2AAgent_HumanInTheLoop` sample and register it in the solution
  and parent README.
- Add unit tests for the new types, extensions, and `A2AAgent` paths.

* Remove unnecessary using directive flagged by CI format check

* address feedback

* Guard against null TaskId when sending A2AInputResponseContent

Throw InvalidOperationException if TaskId is missing when the message
contains A2AInputResponseContent, preventing silent no-op responses.
Also adds tests for both RunAsync and RunStreamingAsync paths.

* Leave Contents null for non-InputRequired status updates

Remove unnecessary '?? []' fallback so Contents stays null when there
are no input requests, matching the other update mapping patterns.

* Use consistent GUID format for request IDs

Use ToString("N") to match message ID format used elsewhere in
the A2A component.

* Remove Debug build exclusion for the HumanInTheLoop sample so it                                                                                                                                                                                                               participates in normal solution validation.

* Add missing using Microsoft.Extensions.AI to A2AAgent_HumanInTheLoop

The sample uses ChatMessage, TextContent, and ChatRole types from
Microsoft.Extensions.AI but was missing the using directive, causing
CS0246 build errors on all CI jobs.

Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework for C# Developers

Quickstart

Basic Agent - .NET

using Azure.AI.OpenAI;
using Azure.Identity;
using Microsoft.Agents.AI;
using OpenAI.Responses;

var endpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT")!;
var deploymentName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME")!;

var agent = new AzureOpenAIClient(new Uri(endpoint), new AzureCliCredential())
    .GetResponsesClient(deploymentName)
    .AsAIAgent(name: "HaikuBot", instructions: "You are an upbeat assistant that writes beautifully.");

Console.WriteLine(await agent.RunAsync("Write a haiku about Microsoft Agent Framework."));
