Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Refactor generator to avoid duplicate function
definitions for class-based tasks
- Remove generation of [Function] attribute definitions for class-based orchestrators, activities, and entities
- Keep generating extension methods for type-safe invocation
- Add early return when only entities exist in Durable Functions scenarios
- Update tests to reflect new behavior where Durable Functions natively handles class-based invocations
