Description

Removing the python 3.11+ features used directly in the bidi subpackage. Specifically I am replacing use of:

• asyncio.TaskGroup: Used in BidiAgent.run. Replacing with an internally implemented shim of TaskGroup.
• ExceptionGroup: Used in _async.stop_all. Replacing with a custom RuntimeException.
  • Note, we are replacing an exception that could be propagated up to the user. However, it is unlikely anyone is looking to explicitly catch an ExceptionGroup. More likely, if they are catching unexpected, internal errors, they would do so with Exception. So for all intents and purposes, I would call this a backwards compatible change. Regardless, bidi is experimental.

Note, this is part of a larger effort to have bidi run in Python 3.10 and 3.11. Only the BidiNovaSonicModel provider requires Python 3.12+. The rest of bidi however should be runnable in all other versions of Python that Strands as a whole supports.
