Describe the change
This PR adds a support to run a sub-workflow from the main workflow.

Describe your implementation or design
New step builder was added to support sub-workflow. The step starts a new workflow when executed with given workflow id (name). The workflow gets an reference to main workflow, the main workflow then waits for a workflow completed event triggered from the sub-workflow and continues.

If sub-event expects an event then the event should be published with parent workflow id since the sub-workflow id is not known.

An error in the sub-workflow terminates it and consequently terminates the parent workflow as well.

Tests
Yes

Happy to merge this if we can revert the WaitFor primitive changes.

return ExecutionResult.WaitForEvent(EventName, EventKey, effectiveDate);
var eventKey = context.Workflow.Reference ?? EventKey;

This does not make sense, why would we default to the reference field as the wait key? This could be a major breaking change.

I don't think we should be changing the behaviour of the WaitFor primitive to support this feature
