feat!: Refine lifecycle hooks; fix abortSignal

- add `stop` method. agent can be reused after stopped
- agent can not be reused after disposed
- extension DO NOT exposes `dispose` anymore. only `stop`.
- update panel for new `stop` method
- fix MultiPageAgent dispose event
- better handling abortSignal
