This PR introduces `WorkBench`.
A workbench provides a group of tools that share the same resource and
state. For example, `McpWorkbench` provides the underlying tools on the
MCP server. A workbench allows tools to be managed together and abstract
away the lifecycle of individual tools under a single entity. This makes
it possible to create agents with stateful tools from serializable
configuration (component configs), and it also supports dynamic tools:
tools change after each execution.
Here is how a workbench may be used with AssistantAgent (not included in
this PR):
```python
workbench = McpWorkbench(server_params)
agent = AssistantAgent("assistant", tools=workbench)
result = await agent.run(task="do task...")
```
TODOs:
1. In a subsequent PR, update `AssistantAgent` to use workbench as an
alternative in the `tools` parameter. Use `StaticWorkbench` to manage
individual tools.
2. In another PR, add documentation on workbench.
