Copilot integrates natively into JetBrains IDEs

GitHub Copilot moves from ACP Registry plugin to native agent in JetBrains, no setup required, but requires separate GitHub Copilot subscription.

Eliminates ACP configuration overhead and improves reliability for developers already in JetBrains IDEs. Copilot CLI commands like /remote and /chronicle now work directly in IDE chat.
