Yuan Teoh 293c1d6889 feat!: update configuration file v2 (#2369)
This PR introduces a significant update to the Toolbox configuration
file format, which is one of the primary **breaking changes** required
for the implementation of the Advanced Control Plane.

# Summary of Changes
The configuration schema has been updated to enforce resource isolation
and facilitate atomic, incremental updates.
* Resource Isolation: Resource definitions are now separated into
individual blocks, using a distinct structure for each resource type
(Source, Tool, Toolset, etc.). This improves readability, management,
and auditing of configuration files.
* Field Name Modification: Internal field names have been modified to
align with declarative methodologies. Specifically, the configuration
now separates kind (general resource type, e.g., Source) from type
(specific implementation, e.g., Postgres).

# User Impact
Existing tools.yaml configuration files are now in an outdated format.
Users must eventually update their files to the new YAML format.

# Mitigation & Compatibility
Backward compatibility is maintained during this transition to ensure no
immediate user action is required for existing files.
* Immediate Backward Compatibility: The source code includes a
pre-processing layer that automatically detects outdated configuration
files (v1 format) and converts them to the new v2 format under the hood.
* [COMING SOON] Migration Support: The new toolbox migrate subcommand
will be introduced to allow users to automatically convert their old
configuration files to the latest format.

# Example
Example for config file v2:
```
kind: sources
name: my-pg-instance
type: cloud-sql-postgres
project: my-project
region: my-region
instance: my-instance
database: my_db
user: my_user
password: my_pass
---
kind: authServices
name: my-google-auth
type: google
clientId: testing-id
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: some description
statement: SELECT * FROM SQL_STATEMENT;
parameters:
- name: country
  type: string
  description: some description
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool_2
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: returning the number one
statement: SELECT 1;
---
kind: toolsets
name: example_toolset
tools:
- example_tool
```

### Pre-built Configurations
- [PostgreSQL using MCP](https://googleapis.github.io/genai-toolbox/how-to/connect-ide/postgres_mcp/)
Connect your IDE to PostgreSQL using Toolbox.
## Requirements
### Database User
This source only uses standard authentication. You will need to [create a
PostgreSQL user][pg-users] to login to the database with.
[pg-users]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createuser.html
## Example
```yaml
kind: sources
name: my-pg-source
type: postgres
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 5432
database: my_db
user: ${USER_NAME}
password: ${PASSWORD}
```
{{< notice tip >}}
Use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME}
instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file.
