:copilot: Install and run GitHub Copilot CLI directly from gh

Since we deprecated the GitHub Copilot in the CLI extension in favor of the new agentic GitHub Copilot CLI, we want to give developers using gh a simple way to get started using our most powerful terminal assistant.

• gh copilot will prompt to install, then run Copilot CLI
• gh copilot <args> will execute the Copilot CLI, forwarding any arguments and flags

For more information and usage options, run gh copilot --help.
