Adds the Identity for Agents workstream overview as a working document.

This PR adds

  • overview.md — the 5 unique runtime identity challenges that distinguish agent systems from human/workload identity (chain integrity, over-privilege, token theft resistance, last-mile enforcement, proof of intent), with each mapped to where existing standards fall short.
  • Documentation of identity and authentication standards relevant to ACS.

Next steps (for working group discussion)

  • Define maturity model for self-evaluation
  • Document anti-patterns
  • Practical builder checklist (Audrey Long)
  • Taxonomies and use cases (Aruneesh Salhotra)
