Description

## Summary

Add a `FirestoreSessionService` — a `BaseSessionService` implementation backed by Google Cloud Firestore, providing persistent, serverless session storage with zero database management.

This was originally submitted as [google/adk-python#4439](https://github.com/google/adk-python/pull/4439), where maintainer @rohityan directed it to this community repo.

## Motivation

The ADK currently has:
- `InMemorySessionService` — dev-only, no persistence
- `DatabaseSessionService` — requires SQL infrastructure (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite)
- `VertexAiSessionService` — requires a Reasoning Engine
- `RedisSessionService` (community) — requires a Redis instance

For GCP-native deployments (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions), Firestore offers a fully managed, serverless alternative with no infrastructure to provision.

## Design

- Events stored in Firestore subcollections (avoids 1MB document size limit)
- Three-tier state management (app/user/session) matching ADK conventions
- Atomic state updates via Firestore transactions (addresses race conditions)
- Batch writes for bulk event deletion
- Server-side query limits for `num_recent_events`
- `google-cloud-firestore` as an optional dependency
- Async context manager support for clean client lifecycle

## Implementation Plan

1. `src/google/adk_community/sessions/firestore_session_service.py`
2. `tests/unittests/sessions/test_firestore_session_service.py`
3. Update `__init__.py` exports and `pyproject.toml` optional dependencies
