feat: add a2a liteagent, auth, transport negotiation, and file support

* feat: add server-side auth schemes and protocol extensions

- add server auth scheme base class and implementations (api key, bearer token, basic/digest auth, mtls)
- add server-side extension system for a2a protocol extensions
- add extensions middleware for x-a2a-extensions header management
- add extension validation and registry utilities
- enhance auth utilities with server-side support
- add async intercept method to match client call interceptor protocol
- fix type_checking import to resolve mypy errors with a2aconfig

* feat: add transport negotiation and content type handling

- add transport negotiation logic with fallback support
- add content type parser and encoder utilities
- add transport configuration models (client and server)
- add transport types and enums
- enhance config with transport settings
- add negotiation events for transport and content type

* feat: add a2a delegation support to LiteAgent

* feat: add file input support to a2a delegation and tasks

Introduces handling of file inputs in A2A delegation flows by converting file dictionaries to protocol-compatible parts and propagating them through delegation and task execution functions. Updates include utility functions for file conversion, changes to message construction, and passing input_files through relevant APIs.

* feat: liteagent a2a delegation support to kickoff methods

+        developments in AI agent communication protocols have focused on enhancing
+        interoperability, establishing new standards, and introducing innovative methods.
+        Here are some key advancements:\\n\\n1. **New Standards**: \\n   - **IEEE
+        P7010**: This is a standard under development that aims to establish ethical
+        guidelines for AI systems, particularly in how they communicate and interact
+        with humans and other systems. \\n   - **W3C's Vocabulary for AI**: The World
+        Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is working on creating vocabularies and protocols
+        to facilitate clearer communication between AI agents across different platforms.\\n\\n2.
+        **Interoperability Improvements**:\\n   - **API Standardization**: Efforts
+        like the OpenAPI Specification (formerly known as Swagger) are being adopted
+        for AI models, allowing better integration and communication between different
+        AI systems and services.\\n   - **Interoperable Frameworks**: Frameworks such
+        as the AI Exchange (a protocol for exchanging AI models and data) are evolving
+        to ensure that different AI systems can work together more effectively, enhancing
+        data sharing and joint operations.\\n\\n3. **Innovative Methods**:\\n   -
+        **Natural Language Understanding (NLU)**: Advances in NLU technologies have
+        made communication more intuitive. AI agents now better grasp context, intent,
+        and sentiment, allowing for more fluid interactions.\\n   - **Multi-agent
+        Systems (MAS)**: Recent research is focusing on improving how multiple AI
+        agents communicate within a shared environment, utilizing protocols that allow
+        for collaborative problem-solving and negotiation.\\n   - **Federated Learning**:
+        This method enhances privacy and security in communications by allowing AI
+        models to learn collaboratively across multiple devices or systems without
+        sharing personal data.\\n\\n4. **Decentralized Protocols**: The emergence
+        of decentralized communication protocols, such as those based on blockchain
+        technology, is enabling AI agents to communicate securely and transparently,
+        fostering trust among users and systems.\\n\\n5. **Research Collaborations**:
+        Initiatives like the Partnership on AI have brought together companies, academia,
+        and civil society to explore best practices in communication protocols that
+        prioritize ethical considerations.\\n\\nOverall, these advancements in standards
+        and protocols are aimed at creating a more interconnected and efficient environment
+        for AI agents, encouraging innovation while addressing ethical and interoperability
+        challenges.\"}],\"role\":\"agent\"},\"state\":\"completed\"},\"taskId\":\"4c4fceee-2a1b-4050-a958-56f23e9f5920\"}}\r\n\r\n"

+        computing is a new type of computing that uses the principles of quantum mechanics,
+        which is the science that explains how very small particles, like atoms and
+        electrons, behave. \\n\\nIn classical computing, the basic unit of information
+        is a bit, which can be either a 0 or a 1. This is like a light switch that
+        can either be off (0) or on (1). \\n\\nQuantum computing, on the other hand,
+        uses quantum bits or qubits. A qubit can be in a state of 0, 1, or both at
+        the same time due to a phenomenon called superposition. You can think of this
+        as a spinning coin that is both heads and tails while in the air, rather than
+        fixed to one side when it lands. \\n\\nMoreover, qubits can be linked together
+        through another phenomenon called entanglement. This means that the state
+        of one qubit can depend on the state of another, no matter how far apart they
+        are. This allows quantum computers to solve certain problems much more efficiently
+        than classical computers. \\n\\nIn summary, quantum computing harnesses the
+        strange and fascinating behaviors of particles at the quantum level to process

+        computing is a type of computing that uses the principles of quantum mechanics,
+        which is the science that explains how very small particles, like atoms and
+        photons, behave. \\n\\nIn traditional computers, information is processed
+        using bits, which can be either 0 or 1. Think of bits like light switches
+        that can be turned off (0) or on (1). \\n\\nQuantum computers, on the other
+        hand, use quantum bits, or qubits. A qubit can be 0, 1, or both at the same
+        time due to a property called superposition. This means that quantum computers
+        can process a vast amount of information at once compared to regular computers.
+        \\n\\nAnother important concept in quantum computing is entanglement, where
+        qubits become linked in such a way that the state of one qubit can depend
+        on the state of another, no matter how far apart they are. This can lead to
+        faster processing speeds and the ability to solve complex problems more efficiently.
+        \\n\\nIn summary, quantum computing is like a supercharged version of traditional
+        computing that can perform many calculations simultaneously by taking advantage
+        of the quirks of quantum physics.\"}],\"role\":\"agent\"},\"state\":\"completed\"},\"taskId\":\"2745bfc5-138f-4773-ad96-98d463fcbb3e\"}}\r\n\r\n"
