feat(blocks)!: Update Exa search block to match latest API specification (#11185)

BREAKING CHANGE: Removed deprecated use_auto_prompt field from Input
schema. Existing workflows using this field will need to be updated to
use the type field set to "auto" instead.

## Summary of Changes šŸ“

This PR comprehensively updates all Exa search blocks to match the
latest Exa API specification and adds significant new functionality
through the Websets API integration.

### Core API Updates šŸ”„

- **Migration to Exa SDK**: Replaced manual API calls with the official
`exa_py` AsyncExa SDK across all blocks for better reliability and
maintainability
- **Removed deprecated fields**: Eliminated
`use_auto_prompt`/`useAutoprompt` field (breaking change)
- **Fixed incomplete field definitions**: Corrected `user_location`
field definition
- **Added new input fields**: Added `moderation` and `context` fields
for enhanced content filtering

### Enhanced Content Settings šŸ› ļø

- **Text field improvements**: Support both boolean and advanced object
configurations
- **New content options**: 
  - Added `livecrawl` settings (never, fallback, always, preferred)
  - Added `subpages` support for deeper content retrieval
  - Added `extras` settings for links and images
  - Added `context` settings for additional contextual information
- **Updated settings**: Enhanced `highlight` and `summary`
configurations with new query and schema options

### Comprehensive Cost Tracking šŸ’°

- Added detailed cost tracking models:
  - `CostDollars` for monetary costs
  - `CostCredits` for API credit tracking
  - `CostDuration` for time-based costs
- New output fields: `request_id`, `resolved_search_type`,
`cost_dollars`
- Improved response handling to conditionally yield fields based on
availability

### New Websets API Integration šŸš€

Added eight new specialized blocks for Exa's Websets API:
- **`websets.py`**: Core webset management (create, get, list, delete)
- **`websets_search.py`**: Search operations within websets
- **`websets_items.py`**: Individual item management (add, get, update,
delete)
- **`websets_enrichment.py`**: Data enrichment operations
- **`websets_import_export.py`**: Bulk import/export functionality
- **`websets_monitor.py`**: Monitor and track webset changes
- **`websets_polling.py`**: Poll for updates and changes

### New Special-Purpose Blocks šŸŽÆ

- **`code_context.py`**: Code search capabilities for finding relevant
code snippets from open source repositories, documentation, and Stack
Overflow
- **`research.py`**: Asynchronous research capabilities that explore the
web, gather sources, synthesize findings, and return structured results
with citations

### Code Organization Improvements šŸ“

- **Removed legacy code**: Deleted `model.py` file containing deprecated
API models
- **Centralized helpers**: Consolidated shared models and utilities in
`helpers.py`
- **Improved modularity**: Each webset operation is now in its own
dedicated file

### Other Changes šŸ”§

- Updated `.gitignore` for better development workflow
- Updated `CLAUDE.md` with project-specific instructions
- Updated documentation in `docs/content/platform/new_blocks.md` with
error handling, data models, and file input guidelines
- Improved webhook block implementations with SDK integration

### Files Changed šŸ“‚

- **Modified (11 files)**:
  - `.gitignore`
  - `autogpt_platform/CLAUDE.md`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/answers.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/contents.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/helpers.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/search.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/similar.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/webhook_blocks.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/websets.py`
  - `docs/content/platform/new_blocks.md`

- **Added (8 files)**:
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/code_context.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/research.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/websets_enrichment.py`
- `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/websets_import_export.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/websets_items.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/websets_monitor.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/websets_polling.py`
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/websets_search.py`

- **Deleted (1 file)**:
  - `autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/exa/model.py`

### Migration Guide 🚦

For users with existing workflows using the deprecated `use_auto_prompt`
field:
1. Remove the `use_auto_prompt` field from your input configuration
2. Set the `type` field to `ExaSearchTypes.AUTO` (or "auto" in JSON) to
achieve the same behavior
3. Review any custom content settings as the structure has been enhanced

### Testing Recommendations āœ…

- Test existing workflows to ensure they handle the breaking change
- Verify cost tracking fields are properly returned
- Test new content settings options (livecrawl, subpages, extras,
context)
- Validate websets functionality if using the new Websets API blocks
