Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Refactor CRUD operations to use dependency injection and
 Fakes for testing

- Introduced `src/agent_engine_cli/dependencies.py` for `get_client` factory.
- Updated `src/agent_engine_cli/main.py` to use `get_client` and consume iterators explicitly.
- Created `tests/fakes.py` with `FakeAgentEngineClient` using Vertex AI types.
- Refactored `tests/test_main.py` to use `FakeAgentEngineClient` instead of mocks.
- Fixed bugs in `main.py` related to iterator emptiness checks and MapField type checking.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] fix: Add tests/__init__.py to make tests a proper Python
 package

The fakes module import (`from tests.fakes import ...`) requires the
tests directory to be a Python package.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] refactor: Clean up fakes and strengthen test assertions

- Add CreateAgentCall dataclass to record create_agent arguments,
  restoring verification of identity_type and service_account params
- Make list_memories return Iterator for consistency with other list methods
- Remove verbose thinking-out-loud comments from tests
- Clean up unused imports in fakes.py
