Closes #3299
Summary
Add VS Code + GitHub Copilot support for existing MCP servers and custom agents, following the same pattern as the Cursor and Antigravity integrations. Enables developers using VS Code to access the same agent-building capabilities through GitHub Copilot's custom agents feature.

.agent.mdfiles instead of symlinks?VS Code custom agents require a different format than Claude Code skills:
.github/agents/(VS Code convention, not.vscode/)description,name,tools, andtargetfieldsContent is adapted from
.claude/skills/to be concise and VS Code-optimized, maintaining the same functionality.Key Technical Decisions
