Run flows from a definition without a Python subclass (#6104)
* Read flow dispatch from FlowDefinition

Store the definition in a `_definition` PrivateAttr at post-init and
convert the dispatch helpers (`_start_method_names`, `_listener_methods`,
`_start_condition`, `_listen_condition`, `_is_router`) from classmethods
to instance methods that read it. Event names now fall back to
`self._definition.name` instead of `self.__class__.__name__`.

Behavior is identical for decorator subclasses, but the engine no longer
assumes the definition comes from the class. This is the seam for
`Flow.from_definition`, where an instance runs a definition that was
loaded rather than built from a Python subclass.

* Add Flow.from_definition to run flows without a subclass

A FlowDefinition (e.g. loaded from YAML) was only usable for dispatch on
decorator-authored subclasses. Now each method definition records an
importable `module:qualname` handler ref, and `Flow.from_definition`
resolves and binds those handlers to build a runnable flow directly.

* Build flow state from FlowDefinition

Definition-driven flows previously always started with a bare dict
state.

* Replace handler string with structured FlowActionDefinition

`handler: str | None` was optional and opaque — missing handlers only
surfaced at kickoff time. `do: FlowActionDefinition` is required, so
Pydantic rejects invalid definitions at parse time.

The `call: "code"` discriminator prepares the schema for future
non-Python action types (e.g. MCP tool, crew) without touching
`FlowMethodDefinition`. Resolution logic is extracted to
`runtime/_action_resolvers.py` to keep the dispatch point isolated.

* Fix conversational start router missing required do field

FlowMethodDefinition.do became required when the handler string was
replaced with FlowActionDefinition, but _conversation_start_router still
built its fragment without it, breaking crewai import entirely.
