.Net: Inconsistent API's in the Agent Framework

[markwallace-microsoft]

OpenAIAssistantAgent contains two factory methods CreateFromTemplateAsync and CreateAsync. AzureAIAgent doesn't have equivalent methods, should it?

The same functionality is present and demonstratd in sample, just in a more slim form. Ultimately, the direction here is to do less abstraction / wrapping and focus more on the orchestration/interaction patterns.

Specifically, for the assistant api we managed the creation and retrieval of the remote/api definition.

In the new direction, the developer is expected to do this with the native client and simply provide the definition/model to the agent class.

The new declarative model you've been working on can encapsulate api interations in the factory. I think this is a good separate and we discussed it as a team (Ben, Evan, and myself).

Note: Technically this isn't a change to public API surface (as labeled)...its more of an issue on how the two packages align.
