[Bug]: Delete conversation state in OpenAI Python example is not working

Description

In the OpenAI Python example, the way to delete conversation state seems not to be working. It looks mostly like a copy of the JS code when I checked, but the most important part (state.deleteConversationState()) cannot be resolved in Python and throws there for an exception.

@app.message("/clear")
async def message(context: TurnContext, state: AppTurnState):
    state.deleteConversationState() # doesn't seem to be implemented in the custom state.py file!!!!
    await context.send_activity(
        "New chat session started: Previous messages won't be used as context for new queries."
    )
    return True

I'm running it with teams-ai version 1.5.0 and also in the main branch didn't see a newer version of this example. So for me unclear how to delete conversation state in Python version.

Reproduction Steps

1. Included the sample code in my own project
2. Deployed the bot
3. Got an exception about `state.deleteConversationState` not found when executing `/clear` in Teams

@jbaron - Thank you for reporting this issue, we will test the sample and get back to you with an update.

Found out the following does work (from another example):

@bot_app.message("/clear")
async def _on_clear_message(context: TurnContext, state: TurnState):
    """Reset the conversation state"""
    if state.conversation:
        del state.conversation

    await context.send_activity("New session started.")
    return True

BTW, I noticed this particular OpenAI Python example has more issues, for example the app runtime was still set to NodeJS and not Python.

Could you please help look into this feedback regarding the Python sample.
