Pull request overview

This PR updates all example applications and their README validation files to be compatible with the latest Dapr CLI, which removed the == APP == prefix from application stdout output (see dapr/cli#1595). The changes ensure that example validations continue to pass by removing the prefix from assertions, switching logging from stderr to stdout, and improving test reliability with retry mechanisms.

Changes:

• Replaced all log.* calls with a custom logger = log.New(os.Stdout, "", log.LstdFlags) in example Go files to ensure output goes to stdout instead of stderr.
• Removed == APP == prefix from all expected_stdout_lines and Result sections in README markdown files.
• Improved test reliability by adding retry logic to client examples (service, grpc-service, pubsub) and wrapping cleanup commands in proper <!-- STEP --> blocks.
