Provide way to explicitly "release" agent instance from memory

• This could be done via full destruction or paging out in the virtual actor sense

This would be really useful to take the full advantage of the actor model behind AutoGen.

For example in the debate demo we made with our akgentic framework based on the actor model, the user can ask dynamically to add supporters of one of the debaters to support him. But also to remove them... We have a pure dynamic chaos of interactions where the debaters are listening to everybody in an async mode to produce their answer :-)

Based on that description it seems like you actually want to control subscriptions and not actual instances. Deleting an instance will do nothing if a subsequent message gets delivered to it and it just gets created again.
