TurnContext hardcodes Activity.input_hint to always be 'acceptingInput'

Describe the bug

In botbuilder-dotnet and botbuilder-js repos, the TurnContext class allows the user to set the value of activity.input_hint.

• dotnet: has 2 SendActivityAsync() methods:

  1. if the prompt is just a text, then to allow inputHint parameter & create an activity to send with the text and inputHint
  2. if the prompt is an Activity, then to just send the activity through--if change in Activity.InputHint is desired, then it must be changed on the activity itself, before passing into SendActivityAsync() method

• js: has 1 .sendActivity() method whose first parameter can be either string or Activity and as a separate parameter accepts inputHint

  • creates an activity within that one method, using the inputHint arg passed in or if it's an Activity, sends the whole activity through

Problem with python repo: this line in the send_activity method hard-codes the activity.input_hint to always be set to 'acceptingInput'.

Expected behavior

Python's TurnContext class should allow setting activity.input_hint and not overwrite to 'acceptingInput' no matter the case
