feat(agent): Update component ordering

[kcze]

User description

Background

Refactor https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/pull/7106 is causing many problems with circular imports. Static run_after inside component classes needlessely couples components to each other and hides ordering from the developer. And it's only useful for internal components as the exact type needs to be known.

Changes 🏗️

Removed usage of static run_after field and introduced run_after method that allows defining ordering at the agent level (local & clear). This also allows user to order specific components (without defining order for all components).

• Introduced run_after method in ComponentAgent
• Updated relevant code and docs
• Added code comments

Description

• Introduced a dynamic run_after method to replace static ordering in components, enhancing flexibility and clarity in component execution order.
• Updated agent initialization in agent.py to use the new dynamic run_after method for WatchdogComponent and ContextComponent.

PR Review 🔍

⏱️ Estimated effort to review [1-5]	3, because the PR involves changes across multiple files with modifications to the core functionality of component ordering. Understanding the impact of these changes on the system's behavior and ensuring no side effects or circular dependencies require careful review.
🧪 Relevant tests	No
⚡ Possible issues	Possible Bug: The new run_after method implementation allows setting up dependencies, but there's no check for circular dependencies which could lead to infinite loops or stack overflow errors during component initialization.
	Compatibility Issue: The removal of the static run_after list and introduction of the instance method might break existing code if external scripts or modules depend on the old static list.
🔒 Security concerns	No
