Accessing Agent runtime through AgentChat

[ekzhu]

What feature would you like to be added?

Currently, AgentChat instantiate an agent runtime each time run() is called on a team. Rather than recreating a new runtime, we should reuse the same runtime

runtime = ...

team = SelectorGroupChat(..., runtime=runtime)
result = await team.runt(...)

Why is this needed?

We want to switch between different runtimes for the same team and agents. The runtime should be decoupled from the agent and team implementation.
