New Features

- **Custom Communication Flows**: Create custom `SendMessage` tool classes for agents to communicate with each other. [Learn more](https://vrsen.github.io/agency-swarm/advanced-usage/communication_flows/)
- **`async_mode` Parameter in `BaseTool.ToolConfig`**: Set `async_mode="threading"` directly in `ToolConfig` of `BaseTool` classes, instead of at the Agency level. This allows you to execute **only certain** tools asynchronously.
- **`output_as_result` Parameter in `BaseTool.ToolConfig`**: When set to `true`, `agency.get_completion` will return the tool’s output instead of the message.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

- **Thread Initialization**: Optimized by removing redundant thread fetches when loading threads from IDs.
