Description

Description of the new feature

Just like how in agent CLIs we can launch with specific options, we should support this functionality in the agent pane.

For example:
--allow-all, and its alias --yolo, are permissions-related options that you can pass to the copilot command when you start an interactive session. For a full list of available options, see GitHub Copilot CLI command reference.

Discussed in #238

How to enter yolo mode for the agent? The default setting requires a lot of manual approves, so the agent can not do complex work on its own.
