This commit adds the ability to manage the background execution state directly within the activity execution context. This includes adding methods to set and verify the background execution state, and modifying the existing code to use these new methods. A method for handling activity scheduling during background execution has also been started, but its implementation is not finished yet. The HTTP Request activities were updated accordingly to reflect these changes.
Significantly enhanced the capabilities of background execution of activities. Included a change in activity type of "SendHttpRequest" from 'Task' to 'Action'. Introduced new classes for handling outcomes of context in background execution. Made some necessary adjustments to HTTP Request Task to handle sending HTTP requests from a background task. Updated several middleware classes to align with these modifications.
* add a more generic UIHandler to customize how inputAttributes can be handle by the ui
* Add IPropertyUIHandlerResolver and update PropertyUIHandlerResolver
Introduced a new interface, IPropertyUIHandlerResolver, to resolve UI options for a property. Refactored PropertyUIHandlerResolver to implement this interface and removed the unnecessary partial class structure. Also, cleaned up some unnecessary usings in various files for better code organization.
* Refactor variable name and description in InputDescriptor
The 'uISpecifications' variable in the InputDescriptor model is renamed to 'uiSpecifications' for better readability. Additionally, the associated comment was revised to explain that the dictionary is used by the UI.
* "Refactor codebase for improved organization and cleaner architecture"
The codebase has been significantly refactored, moving several classes to more appropriate namespaces for improved organization and cleaner architecture. This includes shifting UI hint handlers, activities, and memory-related components, amongst others. The changes should improve code readability and maintainability, but as this is a broad refactoring effort, thorough regression testing is advised.
* Add CheckList UIHint with associated handler and provider
This update introduces a new UIHint called CheckList to the Elsa.Workflows.Core. This includes the necessary handler and provider classes. The handler is registered in the WorkflowsFeature.cs, and the CheckList UIHint key has been added to the InputUIHints.cs. Various associated files have been created in both the Elsa.Api.Client and Elsa.Workflows.Core project to support this new UIHint.

The code addition includes two dependencies, IBookmarksPersister and IWorkflowStateExtractor, in the DefaultBackgroundActivityInvoker service. With these changes, during the workflow execution phase, bookmarks are captured and processed for any state changes. These modifications provide more control and efficiency over handling workflow states during the system's background operations.
Background activities scheduling was moved to its own middleware where the actual scheduling happens instead of in the invoking middleware. Removed ScheduleBackgroundActivities.cs handler and added ScheduleBackgroundActivitiesMiddleware.cs instead. As a part of this change, restructured BackgroundActivityInvokerMiddleware to BackgroundActivityCollectorMiddleware, and updated all relevant references.
Minor modifications to a few other files include changes in their package dependencies and activity kind settings.
* Remove unused NOOP stores
* Add activity execution manager and FindAsync method to store
The notification is used to broadcast changes to SignalR clients.
* Refactor ActiveActivityExectionContexts
Instead, the workflow state extractor is in control of what gets extracted.
* Add missing files for activity execution deleted broadcast
* Update Flowchart to not fault when child faults
* Update Flowchart to support scheduling existing activity instances
* Update namespaces from Services to Stores
* Improve activity cancellation alteration
* Update ScheduleActivity alteration
* Implement Alteration types and engine
* Implement Alteration APIs
* Refactor activity work item with support for activity input
* Serialize scheduled activities as part of workflow state
* Add signal to schedule child activity
* Implement stores for plans and jobs
* Add EF Core provider
* Add Retry endpoint
* Keep root context as always active. The root context is the workflow execution context and contains persistent variable state
* Regenerate EF Core migrations
* Handle orphaned activity execution contexts
* Refactor workflow execution factory
* Enable configuring Jint from Program
* Update ModifyVariable alteration with support for type deserialization
* Use ShortGuid for identity
* Cleanup WorkflowServer host
