Add one-click Azure deployment support

[Copilot]

Adds Azure deployment infrastructure and tooling based on the C# reference repository, adapted for Python runtime.

Infrastructure

• Bicep templates (/infra): Main infrastructure, Azure AI project setup, Functions app, RBAC, monitoring
• ARM template (/infra/deploybutton): Pre-compiled for one-click Portal deployment
• Runtime: Python 3.11 on Flex Consumption plan (was .NET 9)

Deployment Options

1. One-click: Deploy to Azure button in README
2. Azure Developer CLI: azd up with azure.yaml configuration
3. Manual: Direct Bicep deployment via Azure CLI

Scripts

• setuplocalenvironment.*: Post-provision hooks for local dev setup
• createlocalsettings.*: Generates local.settings.json with FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME=python

Documentation

• DEPLOYMENT.md: Deployment options, configuration, troubleshooting
• README.md: Quick start section with deployment button, prerequisites, what gets deployed

Resources Deployed

• Azure Functions (Python 3.11), Azure AI Services (GPT-4.1-mini), Storage, App Insights, Log Analytics, Managed Identities
• Optional: Azure AI Search, Cosmos DB (disabled by default)

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• aka.ms
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/bicep bicep build infra/main.bicep --outfile infra/deploybutton/azuredeploy.json (dns block)
• eastus.data.mcr.microsoft.com
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/bicep bicep build infra/main.bicep --outfile infra/deploybutton/azuredeploy.json (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

<issue_description>Add support for one click deploy to Azure.

• baseline this change as much as possible off of https://github.com/paulyuk/simple-agent-af repo
• include the /infra folder. Note that project is csharp, so main.bicep will need to factor in the function app is now python
• include azure.yaml. tweak the template names to reflect dotnet instead of python
• update the readme based on the improvements in the C# repo (e.g. Deploy to Azure button, quickstart, azd up, etc)</issue_description>
