Add --Id parameter for bot identification

Updated README.md to include the new required `--Id` parameter for the `g4-bot-monitor` CLI usage and modified the HTTP listener endpoint to incorporate the bot ID. Introduced a `botId` variable in Program.cs, updated the argument dictionary, and refactored the `AddMetadata` method. Enhanced the `FormatArguments` method to describe the new `Id` parameter. Updated launchSettings.json to include the `--Id` parameter in the project profile.
