Key Changes
- Extracted thread validation logic into a new
GetA2AThreadhelper method that validates both the background response requirement and thread type compatibility - Added comprehensive unit tests covering both
RunAsyncandRunStreamingAsyncmethods for the new validation scenarios

This PR prevents the usage of background responses if no agent thread is provided to
A2AAgent.Run{Streaming}Asynccalls. This change aligns the A2A agent's behavior with that of theChatClientAgent, where the absence of a thread with background responses could cause inconsistency issues.
