Add stateful-history delta work items to the workflow worker

[JoshVanL]

The sidecar re-sends a workflow instance's entire committed history to the worker on every turn. This adds the worker half of the "stateful history" optimization so that, once a worker is warm for an instance on a work-item stream, the sidecar sends only the new committed events (the delta) and the worker reconstructs the full history from its own cache. It mirrors the Go (durabletask-go), Python, and .NET SDK implementations and is on by default.

Worker (durabletask-client):

• WorkflowHistoryCache: a per-stream cache of each instance's committed history, bounded by a sliding TTL, an instance-count cap, and a byte budget with LRU eviction. Injectable clock for deterministic tests.
• DurableTaskGrpcWorker: advertise WORKER_CAPABILITY_STATEFUL_HISTORY in GetWorkItemsRequest, reset the cache on every reconnect (the sidecar drops the old stream's warm set), and reclaim idle entries with a daemon janitor stopped on close.
• OrchestratorRunner: before replay, resolve the full committed history (cached prefix + delta on a hit, or a GetInstanceHistory fetch on a miss) instead of using the request's pastEvents directly; after replay, cache the committed history, or drop it once the instance ends (a CompleteWorkflow action, covering completed/failed/terminated/continued-as-new). A TerminateWorkflow action targets a different instance and is deliberately not treated as a reset.

Correctness never depends on the cache: any miss (cold stream, eviction, desync) self-heals via the GetInstanceHistory fallback, so this only changes per-turn bandwidth, not results. A fallback fetch that fails abandons the work item for backend redelivery rather than completing with a partial history.

Configuration (DurableTaskGrpcWorkerBuilder):

• disableStatefulHistory to opt out, plus historyCacheTtl, historyCacheMaxInstances, and historyCacheMaxBytes to tune the bounds.

Pull request overview

Adds the worker-side implementation of the “stateful history” optimization so the sidecar can send only committed-history deltas on a warm work-item stream, with safe self-healing via GetInstanceHistory on cache misses.

Changes:

• Introduces a per-stream WorkflowHistoryCache (TTL + LRU bounds) and uses it to reconstruct full committed history from deltas.
• Updates DurableTaskGrpcWorker/OrchestratorRunner to advertise the capability, reset cache on reconnect, and abandon (drop stream) when history recovery fails.
• Adds unit + worker-level + end-to-end integration tests validating cache behavior and actual on-the-wire delta delivery.
