Refactor Ask.razor and update dependencies

- Renamed `CopyToClipboard` to `CopyToClipboardAsync` in `Ask.razor` for clarity on asynchronous operation.
- Added `ElementReference` for `chat` and introduced `EnsureMessageIsVisibleAsync` to improve message visibility.
- Modified streaming state handling for better readability.
- Made `FormatTokenUsage` and `FormatTokenUsageDetails` methods static and adjusted their implementations.
- Enhanced styling in `Home.razor` with a new paragraph class.
- Updated `SqlDatabaseVectorSearch.csproj` to upgrade `Microsoft.SemanticKernel` and other package versions.
- Added a new `scrollTo` function in `functions.js` to improve user experience by ensuring elements are visible.
