Lorenze/new version 0.140.0 (#3106)

* fix: clean up whitespace and update dependencies

* Removed unnecessary whitespace in multiple files for consistency.
* Updated `crewai-tools` dependency version to `0.49.0` in `pyproject.toml` and related template files.
* Bumped CrewAI version to `0.140.0` in `__init__.py` for alignment with updated dependencies.

* chore: update pyproject.toml to exclude documentation from build targets

* Added exclusions for the `docs` directory in both wheel and sdist build targets to streamline the build process and reduce unnecessary file inclusion.

* chore: update uv.lock for dependency resolution and Python version compatibility

* Incremented revision to 2.
* Updated resolution markers to include support for Python 3.13 and adjusted platform checks for better compatibility.
* Added new wheel URLs for zstandard version 0.23.0 to ensure availability across various platforms.

* chore: pin json-repair dependency version in pyproject.toml and uv.lock

* Updated json-repair dependency from a range to a specific version (0.25.2) for consistency and to avoid potential compatibility issues.
* Adjusted related entries in uv.lock to reflect the pinned version, ensuring alignment across project files.

* chore: pin agentops dependency version in pyproject.toml and uv.lock

* Updated agentops dependency from a range to a specific version (0.3.18) for consistency and to avoid potential compatibility issues.
* Adjusted related entries in uv.lock to reflect the pinned version, ensuring alignment across project files.

* test: enhance cache call assertions in crew tests

* Improved the test for cache hitting between agents by filtering mock calls to ensure they include the expected 'tool' and 'input' keywords.
* Added assertions to verify the number of cache calls and their expected arguments, enhancing the reliability of the test.
* Cleaned up whitespace and improved readability in various test cases for better maintainability.
