Motivation and Context
Now that Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) is the successor SDK to Semantic Kernel, the top-level and per-language READMEs should direct community members — especially newcomers landing here from search, GitHub, PyPI, or NuGet — to MAF for new work, and clearly state SK's ongoing maintenance posture.
Description
Adds a prominent GitHub
> [!IMPORTANT]callout, placed directly under the existing title/badges block, to:README.md(top-level)python/README.mddotnet/README.mdEach callout:
No other README content is modified; SK identity, badges, install steps, and quickstart samples are preserved.
