agents to use tools api (#673)
# What does this PR do?

PR #639 introduced the notion of Tools API and ability to invoke tools
through API just as any resource. This PR changes the Agents to start
using the Tools API to invoke tools. Major changes include:
1) Ability to specify tool groups with AgentConfig
2) Agent gets the corresponding tool definitions for the specified tools
and pass along to the model
3) Attachements are now named as Documents and their behavior is mostly
unchanged from user perspective
4) You can specify args that can be injected to a tool call through
Agent config. This is especially useful in case of memory tool, where
you want the tool to operate on a specific memory bank.
5) You can also register tool groups with args, which lets the agent
inject these as well into the tool call.
6) All tests have been migrated to use new tools API and fixtures
including client SDK tests
7) Telemetry just works with tools API because of our trace protocol
decorator
