Add bf orchestrator support for Question Answering

Possibly related to #6413

Our Chatbot project is built in BotFramework-SDK using Dispatch CLI, some LUIS models, and some QnA Maker KBs. We're looking to migrate to Question Answering but we're stuck because we use Dispatch CLI, which is no longer supported, and Orchestrator doesn't seem to have support for it.

Feature Request: Add bf orchestrator support for adding models from Question Answering / Language Cognitive Service knowledge bases / projects.

If this can't be achieved, is it possible to pause the scheduled deprecation of creating new QnA Maker resources in Azure? I don't know how many other customers are in our boat, but we relied on the Dispatch CLI to glue together our QnA/LUIS resources as is recommended in Microsoft's documentation, but Dispatch is deprecated by Orchestrator, QnA Maker is deprecated by Question Answering, so there's no path forward for us.

Are there any updates on this feature request? We are also facing the same problem and, @jrpavoncello the only way we can achieve this functionality using an inbuilt orchestrator in Langauge studio but if we are really planning to do it through code then the respective team should answer.

@rajeeshmenoth This is a day late, a dollar short for those affected, but our team ended up writing a script to convert the Custom Question Answering exported model.json over to a TSV file for consumption by orchestrator as a qna file.
