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Existing tools.yaml configuration files are now in an outdated format.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pre-processing layer that automatically detects outdated configuration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

The HTTP source enables the Toolbox to retrieve data from a remote server using HTTP requests.
---
## About
The HTTP Source allows Toolbox to retrieve data from arbitrary HTTP
endpoints. This enables Generative AI applications to access data from web APIs
and other HTTP-accessible resources.
## Available Tools
- [`http`](../tools/http/http.md)
Make HTTP requests to REST APIs or other web services.
## Example
```yaml
kind: sources
name: my-http-source
type: http
baseUrl: https://api.example.com/data
timeout: 10s # default to 30s
headers:
Authorization: Bearer ${API_KEY}
Content-Type: application/json
queryParams:
param1: value1
param2: value2
# disableSslVerification: false
```
{{< notice tip >}}
Use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME}
instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file.

## Reference
| **field** | **type** | **required** | **description** |
|------------------------|:-----------------:|:------------:|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| type | string | true | Must be "http". |
| baseUrl | string | true | The base URL for the HTTP requests (e.g., `https://api.example.com`). |
| timeout | string | false | The timeout for HTTP requests (e.g., "5s", "1m", refer to [ParseDuration][parse-duration-doc] for more examples). Defaults to 30s. |
| headers | map[string]string | false | Default headers to include in the HTTP requests. |
| queryParams | map[string]string | false | Default query parameters to include in the HTTP requests. |
| disableSslVerification | bool | false | Disable SSL certificate verification. This should only be used for local development. Defaults to `false`. |
