Built-in message types

TextMessage: plain text message.
ImageMessage: image message.
MultiModalMessage: message type for multimodal message. The current support message items are TextMessage and ImageMessage.
ToolCallMessage: message type for tool call. This message supports both single and parallel tool call.
ToolCallResultMessage: message type for tool call result.
Message: This type is used by previous version of AutoGen. And it's reserved for backward compatibility.
AggregateMessage<TMessage1, TMessage2>: an aggregate message type that contains two message types. This type is useful when you want to combine two message types into one unique message type. One example is when invoking a tool call and you want to return both ToolCallMessage and ToolCallResultMessage. One example of how this type is used in AutoGen is FunctionCallMiddleware and its return message ToolCallAggregateMessage
