…ly (microsoft#5131) ### Motivation and Context Today, it is not possible to deserialize ChatMessageContent that has at least one content item in the Items collection. The reason for this is that the content items in the Items collection are referenced polymorphically through the KernelContent abstract class. As a result, the deserialization process fails because it cannot create an instance of the abstract class. To solve the problem, the serialization process should save type information when serializing the Items collection so that the deserialization process can use this information to find the type that was serialized and create its instance. Therefore, this PR leverages [type discriminators](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/serialization/system-text-json/polymorphism?pivots=dotnet-8-0) to save the type information and use it during deserialization. ### Description This PR registers the type discriminator for the KernelContent class and whitelists its subclasses to participate in polymorphic deserialization. On top of that, a few content types are modified to be serializable/deserializable. ### Contribution Checklist <!-- Before submitting this PR, please make sure: --> - [x] The code builds clean without any errors or warnings - [x] The PR follows the [SK Contribution Guidelines](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) and the [pre-submission formatting script](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#development-scripts) raises no violations - [x] All unit tests pass, and I have added new tests where possible - [x] I didn't break anyone 😄 --------- Co-authored-by: Dmytro Struk <13853051+dmytrostruk@users.noreply.github.com>
