Cameron 89a7a12b38 fix(core): remove send_message tool requirement from A2A messages (#9383)
The A2A messaging tools were instructing receiving agents to use the
send_message tool to reply, but that tool is often not attached to
agents anymore. This caused agents confusion when they couldn't find
the required tool.

For synchronous functions (send_message_to_agent_and_wait_for_reply,
send_message_to_agents_matching_tags, send_message_to_all_agents_in_group),
the system already captures AssistantMessage automatically, so agents
just need to respond normally.

For the async/fire-and-forget function (send_message_to_agent_async),
updated to indicate it's a one-way notification and hint that messaging
tools exist without requiring a specific one.
