feat(agents): split ChatAgent into Chat, FileIO, and DocumentQA agent… (#979)

Contributes towards #923

Split the monolithic ChatAgent into three focused agents:

chat/lite_agent.py - handles conversational chat only
fileio/agent.py - handles file reading and writing
docqa/agent.py - handles document question answering
Tests added in tests/unit/test_agents_split.py, all passing.
