{AKS} remove aks agent from aks-preview

[mainred]

---

PR description

When installing aks-preview with agent on windows, it takes 6 minutes or more to install holmesgpt without detailed log, this impacts the user who use aks-preview not the agentic tool.
We want to remove this dependency from aks-preview to unblock aks-preview users. Alternatively, we can

• introduce another extension aks-agent
• manage the holmes binary in the agent
• introduce a flag to init agent by installing the dependencies,

We can keep the agent in aks-preview with the last two options. But before we finalize the decision and PR, we use this PR to unblock aks-preview users.

This checklist is used to make sure that common guidelines for a pull request are followed.

• Updates version from 18.0.0b28 to 18.0.0b29
• Cleans up commands, parameters, validators, and test files related to the agent

It is better to add some information about guiding users to download new package to use the related function.
