Dana K. Williams 2486349268 docs: Fix missing toolbox-core dependency and improve installation guide
Merge https://github.com/google/adk-python/pull/1195

## Summary
Updated the Toolbox Agent documentation to address a critical missing dependency that prevents the agent from running successfully.

## Changes Made
- **Added missing dependency**: Documented that `toolbox-core` must be installed via `pip install toolbox-core`
- **Improved documentation structure**: Added clear section numbering and better organization
- **Enhanced readability**: Fixed grammar, capitalization, and formatting throughout
- **Added Prerequisites section**: Set clear expectations before installation begins
- **Clarified optional steps**: Made it clearer when database creation can be skipped

## Problem Solved
The original documentation was missing a crucial step - installing the `toolbox-core` package. Without this dependency, users encounter an `ImportError: No module named 'toolbox-core'` when trying to use the `ToolboxToolset` class in ADK. This fix ensures users can successfully set up and run the agent without encountering import errors.

## Testing
- Verified the installation steps work correctly with the added dependency
- Confirmed the agent runs successfully after following the updated documentation

Contributing Resources

This folder host resources for ADK contributors, for example, testing samples etc.

Samples

Samples folder host samples to test different features. The samples are usually minimal and simplistic to test one or a few scenarios.

Note: This is different from the google/adk-samples repo, which hosts more complex e2e samples for customers to use or modify directly.

ADK project and architecture overview

The adk_project_overview_and_architecture.md describes the ADK project overview and its technical architecture from high-level.

This is helpful for contributors to understand the project and design philosophy. It can also be feed into LLMs for vibe-coding.
