Description
Today, there is a workflow.SignalExternalWorkflow which enables us to signal workflows via a Workflow Task Command.
If we want to SignalWithStart, we have to do it via an activity and bring in the Temporal Client. It would be great if that can also be handled via a WorkflowTaskCommand as well.

Research direction

Determine the server changes needed for SignalExternalWorkflowWithStart, then verify that SignalWithStart can be handled through a workflow task command rather than an activity and client; the behavior should be covered by compatibility tests.
