Update to enable knowledge extraction using the agent framework (#439)

* Implement KG extraction agent (kg-extract-agent)

* Using ReAct framework (agent-manager-react)
 
* ReAct manager had an issue when emitting JSON, which conflicts which ReAct manager's own JSON messages, so refactored ReAct manager to use traditional ReAct messages, non-JSON structure.
 
* Minor refactor to take the prompt template client out of prompt-template so it can be more readily used by other modules. kg-extract-agent uses this framework.

+Integration tests for Agent-based Knowledge Graph Extraction
+
+These tests verify the end-to-end functionality of the agent-driven knowledge graph
+extraction pipeline, testing the integration between agent communication, prompt
+rendering, JSON response processing, and knowledge graph generation.
+Following the TEST_STRATEGY.md approach for integration testing.
