Purpose

This PR adds a new optional feature that will extract figures in documents (using Azure Document Intelligence) figures output mode and send those figures to Azure Content Understanding (a new service that uses multimodal models) to generate a figure description. It will then insert that figure description into the content, which will then get sent for chunking. If the figure is of a graph or chart, it will include an HTML table with the data.
This gives developers a more lightweight approach to ingest media-rich documents and can be compared to the more heavyweight GPT-4-vision approach.

Does this introduce a breaking change?

When developers merge from main and run the server, azd up, or azd deploy, will this produce an error?
If you're not sure, try it out on an old environment.
