Update uipath SDK to 2.8

[edis-uipath]

This PR updates the uipath-mcp package to align with the new UiPath 2.8 runtime model. The changes refactor the codebase to use the new runtime protocol-based architecture instead of the previous middleware-based approach.

Key changes

• Migrates from middleware-based execution to runtime factory pattern
• Implements UiPathRuntimeProtocol with execute() and get_schema() methods
• Implements UiPathRuntimeFactoryProtocol with get_settings(), discover_entrypoints(), discover_runtimes(), new_runtime(), and dispose()
• Updates import paths from uipath._cli to uipath.platform and uipath.runtime
• Updates uipath dependency to >=2.8.23, <2.9.0
• Adds explicit uipath-runtime>=0.8.0, <0.9.0 dependency
• Uses UiPathRuntimeContext for mcp_server_id/mcp_server_slug instead of manual uipath.json parsing
• Uses UiPathConfig.config_file_path for config path resolution
• Removes stream() method and event emitting — unnecessary complexity for MCP servers
• Removes manual tracing/LlmOpsHttpExporter setup — now handled by the CLI automatically
• Deletes old middleware hooks (cli_run.py, cli_init.py) and simplifies server template

_run_server() returns UiPathRuntimeResult, while stream yields an AsyncGenerator[UiPathRuntimeEvent, None]. Even though it works at runtime since UiPathRuntimeResult is a subclass of UiPathRuntimeEvent, is there a reason why we need to use UiPathRuntimeEvent?
