Enhanced Type Hints for Improved Readability and Maintainability: Addressing Type Mismatch in query_quadrant Return Statement

[Hk669]

Why are these changes needed?

1. I've updated the type hints of the *_utils to improve code readability, maintainability, and to facilitate static type checking. This enhancement will make it easier for developers to understand the expected types of parameters and return values, reducing the likelihood of type-related errors and improving overall code quality.

2. updated the query_quadrant in qdrant_retrieve_user_proxy_agent.py, the return statement doesn't match with the type mentioned. otherwise returns a dict, could be a problem for the developer to use query_quadrant.

@sonichi i've no idea why the compression test is failing, which isn't relevant to this PR. maybe because of the previous commits?
i made some changes in the test_compressible_agent, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@yiranwu0 @WaelKarkoub @gagb is it time to retire compressible agent? Have we reached feature parity with the TransformMessages capability?

@sonichi I'm working on LLMLingua support, once that goes in, we should retire compressible agent. #2225

For the code with a source url, shall we keep as original?
Another issue is that this file is not covered by test right now because the test that covered this file in v0.1 hasn't been migrated to v0.2.

i think, these changes are required if, these utils are being used in any of our modules or the developer. there are some return types to be updated, which is mentioned.

@sonichi shall i cover the tests for the utils in this PR?

[sonichi]

It's possible that we'll deprecate this util file. It's better to avoid changes to this file in this PR, especially the code which contains a source url.

sure @sonichi , lets not make changes anymore to this file. Thanks
