feat(installer): GitHub Copilot targets — VS Code, Copilot CLI, JetBrains

Adds three new installer targets so `codegraph install` can wire the
MCP server into GitHub Copilot surfaces:

- copilot-vscode: .vscode/mcp.json (local) or the VS Code User-dir
  mcp.json (global), JSONC-surgical edits, `--path` pinned via
  ${workspaceFolder} for global installs
- copilot-cli: ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json
- copilot-jetbrains: github-copilot config dir (XDG / %LOCALAPPDATA%)

Detection, install, uninstall, and --print-config are covered for all
three in installer-targets.test.ts, including platform-specific path
resolution.

/**
* GitHub Copilot CLI target.
*
* - MCP server entry to `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json` under the
* `mcpServers` key (same wrapper as Claude/Cursor). Entry shape per
* the GitHub docs: `{ "type": "stdio", "command", "args", "tools" }`
* — `type` accepts `"local"` or `"stdio"`; we write `"stdio"` (the
* standard MCP name, recommended by the docs for cross-client
* compatibility). `"tools": ["*"]` mirrors the docs' example and is
* the documented default.
* - The config dir is `~/.copilot` unless the user moved it via
* `COPILOT_HOME` (documented override) — we honor it so install and
* detect follow the CLI's own resolution.
*
* Copilot CLI as of 2026-07 has no project-local MCP config — per-repo
* config (`.github/mcp.json`) is an open feature request
* (github/copilot-cli#2528). `supportsLocation('local')` returns false;
* the orchestrator skips this target for local installs with a clear
* message (same pattern as Codex).
*
* The file is machine-written by the CLI's own `/mcp add` flow, so it's
* plain JSON — no JSONC handling needed; surgical edits go through the
* shared read/mutate/write helpers (Cursor pattern), preserving sibling
* servers.
*
* No instructions file (MCP `initialize` instructions are the single
* source of truth, #529) and no permissions concept — `autoAllow` is
* silently ignored.
