Description

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow executing activities without a workflow. The clients must support the new (upcoming) server APIs for starting, managing and getting results of activities. The workers must support running activities outside of workflow context.

Additional context

Server API PR (WIP): https://github.com/temporalio/api/pull/640

See https://github.com/temporalio/features/issues/706

Research direction

Start by reading the linked server API PR and the Temporal features issue 706 to understand the upcoming activity APIs. Then trace the SDK's client and worker entry points for starting, managing, and retrieving activity results. Done means clients support standalone activity APIs and workers can run activities outside workflow context.
