Python: add option to disable return-to-previous in handoff

[lbbniu]

Description

After the handoff refactor in PR #3023, the Python handoff workflow became fully decentralized and user replies always return to the last active agent. The previous API HandoffBuilder.enable_return_to_previous(...) (introduced in #2037) was removed, so there is no way to opt out of “return to previous agent”.

This is a regression for workflows that rely on a coordinator re-evaluating after each user response (e.g., specialist gathers info, then coordinator decides next steps). Using group chat changes other semantics and does not always fit the handoff model.

Expected behavior

Provide a configuration option to disable return-to-previous and route user responses back to a designated coordinator (or the start agent), similar to the prior enable_return_to_previous(False) behavior. An API-level option on HandoffBuilder (or equivalent) would be ideal.

Alternatives considered

• Use group chat for centralized routing (changes workflow semantics)
• Downgrade to a pre-[BREAKING] Python: Refactor orchestrations #3023 version (not desirable long-term)
