This commit achieves two main goals. Firstly, it introduces two new classes called ScheduledActivity and ScheduledActivityOptions to store scheduled activities' information. Secondly, it modifies how activities are executed in the background by capturing the scheduling information as a serializable format and storing it in the workflow execution context properties dictionary. This change allows the workflow execution context to resume the activity execution context.
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 AutoComplete option has been added to the workflow bookmarks, which determines whether the activity should automatically be completed if no callback is specified. This change improves the flexibility of bookmark creation and impacts various workflow elements and procedures. The corresponding adjustments have been made at functions where bookmarks are used or created.
Refactored the workflow handling logic and simplified numerous components in the codebase. Major changes include the enhancement of the Workflow Runtime handler, altering the broadcast and deliver functions in the Default Workflow Inbox, and the removal of unnecessary details in the Workflow Runtime feature. Also, unnecessary services and requests were removed for better code efficiency and readability.
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.
