Python: fix prompt template engine blocking HTML tags in content

[weiguangli-io]

Motivation and Context

Fixes #13632

When a prompt contains HTML tags such as <p>, <div>, <b>, etc., the
ChatHistory.from_rendered_prompt() method wraps the rendered prompt in a
<root> element and parses it as XML. Any child elements whose tag names do
not match the known SK template tags (message, chat_history) were silently
skipped, causing their text content to be lost. This meant a prompt like:

Translate: "<p>What is your name?</p>"

would arrive at the LLM as an empty message, because <p>What is your name?</p>
was discarded during XML traversal.

Description

In ChatHistory.from_rendered_prompt, when an XML child element has an
unrecognized tag (i.e. it is not message or chat_history), the element
is now serialized back to its original text representation and appended to
the preceding message content. The element's tail text is likewise kept in
the same message, preserving the full original prompt text.

Changed files:

• python/semantic_kernel/contents/chat_history.py -- handle unknown XML
  tags as literal text in from_rendered_prompt()
• python/tests/unit/contents/test_chat_history.py -- added four regression
  tests covering HTML <p>, multiple HTML tags, HTML surrounded by text,
  and SK tags mixed with HTML

Contribution Checklist

@moonbox3 / Anyone - Can you please review and merge this? We have a blocker on this issue. Thank you.

[moonbox3]

We need to get a separate SK PR in so these tests can pass. Working on it now.

Have a look at the failing pre-commit. Please make sure you have it installed locally, so it runs when you commit changes: uv run pre-commit install -c python/.pre-commit-config.yaml

@weiguangli-io - Is this something you can help with?

[moonbox3]

Yes, it is the dev's responsibility to handle failing pre-commit. It is simple to install them, and fix the items based on the output while running git commit -m "<some message" which triggers the pre-commit locally. Please see my last message above.
