Subject: [PATCH 4/5] feat: Replace static SDK versions with dynamic shields.io
 badges

- Remove static version text that required commits to update
- Add dynamic badges that fetch versions from npm, PyPI, and NuGet
- Delete update-readme-versions.yml workflow (no longer needed)
- Delete Update-ReadmeVersions.ps1 script (no longer needed)

Addresses feedback about needing dynamic versions that work on scheduled runs
without requiring README modifications.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] feat: Remove static SDK versions from README, link to E2E
 workflow summaries

- Remove all hardcoded version tables from README
- Direct users to E2E workflow step summaries for actual resolved versions
- No README commits needed - versions are displayed dynamically in workflow logs
- E2E tests use flexible constraints (>=, ^, *-beta.*) to get latest packages

Addresses feedback about avoiding README modifications for version updates.

+The SDK versions used by each sample are displayed in the **E2E test workflow summaries**. Each E2E run installs the latest compatible packages and logs the resolved versions.
+
+📦 **View SDK Versions**: Click any E2E status badge above, then select a workflow run and view the **"Log SDK Versions"** step in the job summary.
+
+The samples use flexible version constraints (`>=`, `^`, `*-beta.*`) to automatically pick up the latest compatible SDK releases during each test run.
