Benchling Workflow Task Group API

A container that groups related `WorkflowTask` instances together, representing a cohesive unit of work. Task groups are created from a `WorkflowTaskSchema` (via `workflowTaskSchema`). They are stored in `Folder`s and can have `authors` and `watchers` for collaboration. In flowchart workflows, task groups can be nested: `childWorkflowTaskGroups` contains sub-groups for flowchart nodes, and `rootWorkflowTaskGroup` points to the parent when this group is part of a larger flowchart. When created from a `RequestV2Submission`, the `requestSubmission` field links back to the originating request. Task groups aggregate the outputs from all their tasks via `workflowOutputs`.
