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Existing tools.yaml configuration files are now in an outdated format.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pre-processing layer that automatically detects outdated configuration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
```

# Spanner Source
[Spanner][spanner-docs] is a fully managed, mission-critical database service
that brings together relational, graph, key-value, and search. It offers
transactional consistency at global scale, automatic, synchronous replication
for high availability, and support for two SQL dialects: GoogleSQL (ANSI 2011
with extensions) and PostgreSQL.
If you are new to Spanner, you can try to [create and query a database using
the Google Cloud console][spanner-quickstart].
[spanner-docs]: https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs
[spanner-quickstart]:
https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/create-query-database-console
## Available Tools
- [`spanner-sql`](../tools/spanner/spanner-sql.md)
Execute SQL on Google Cloud Spanner.
- [`spanner-execute-sql`](../tools/spanner/spanner-execute-sql.md)
Run structured and parameterized queries on Spanner.
- [`spanner-list-tables`](../tools/spanner/spanner-list-tables.md)
Retrieve schema information about tables in a Spanner database.
- [`spanner-list-graphs`](../tools/spanner/spanner-list-graphs.md)
Retrieve schema information about graphs in a Spanner database.
### Pre-built Configurations
- [Spanner using MCP](https://googleapis.github.io/genai-toolbox/how-to/connect-ide/spanner_mcp/)
Connect your IDE to Spanner using Toolbox.
## Requirements
### IAM Permissions
Spanner uses [Identity and Access Management (IAM)][iam-overview] to control
user and group access to Spanner resources at the project, Spanner instance, and
Spanner database levels. Toolbox will use your [Application Default Credentials
(ADC)][adc] to authorize and authenticate when interacting with Spanner.
In addition to [setting the ADC for your server][set-adc], you need to ensure
the IAM identity has been given the correct IAM permissions for the query
provided. See [Apply IAM roles][grant-permissions] for more information on
applying IAM permissions and roles to an identity.

[grant-permissions]: https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/grant-permissions
## Example
```yaml
kind: sources
name: my-spanner-source
type: "spanner"
project: "my-project-id"
instance: "my-instance"
database: "my_db"
# dialect: "googlesql"
```
