Add support for streaming through entities

Fixes #5514

Changelog Entry

• Added livestreaming support for livestreaming data in entities in PR #5517 by @kylerohn

note: actual changes made by kylerohnmsft, but linking personal account to show contribution after internship ends

Description

Microsoft platforms such as the Agents SDKs are now putting streaming information in the entities field rather than the channelData field. This means that BotFramework-WebChat must be able to handle reading streaming data from either location, prioritizing reading from entities.

Design

Nothing fundamental about the code flow was changed. getActivityLivestreamingMetadata() was edited such that entities is checked for streaming data before channelData. If the streaming data is found in entities, it uses that data to encode the livestreaming metadata. Otherwise, it moves on to channelData and the code executes as it did before. Changes were made to abstract some of the Schema structure such that overall code maintenance should be easier moving forward.

Specific Changes

• Check entities field of activity for streaming data
• Abstraction of schemas used to validate streaming data schemas
• Added unit tests to validate functionality of metadata collection from entities

-

• I have added tests and executed them locally

This needs design feedback from @compulim before it goes further.

I think it legitimately fail. Unit tests rarely flaky.

I was talking about a previous one. This was me, I forgot to update unit tests
