Add copilot[bot] to CLA allowlist

[Copilot]

This PR adds copilot[bot] to the CLA allowlist in the GitHub Actions workflow configuration to ensure that GitHub Copilot is recognized as an allowed contributor and won't require CLA signing when creating pull requests or commits.

Changes

Updated .github/workflows/cla.yml to include copilot[bot] in the allowlist alongside existing entries (dependabot[bot] and stesee).

Before:

allowlist: dependabot[bot],stesee

After:

allowlist: dependabot[bot],stesee,copilot[bot]

Rationale

GitHub Copilot is a bot account that may contribute to the repository through automated commits or pull requests. By adding it to the CLA allowlist, we ensure that:

• Copilot-generated contributions won't be blocked by CLA checks
• The CLA Assistant workflow will automatically approve Copilot's contributions
• The development workflow remains smooth for Copilot-assisted development

This follows the same pattern already established for dependabot[bot], which is also included in the allowlist for automated dependency updates.

Original prompt

Add Copilot to the allowlist in the cla.yml file if not already present. If the cla.yml file does not exist, create one in the appropriate location with Copilot in the allowlist. The goal is to ensure Copilot is listed as an allowed contributor for CLA checks.

This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.

Add Copilot to the allowlist in the cla.yml file if not already present. If the cla.yml file does not exist, create one in the appropriate location with Copilot in the allowlist. The goal is to ensure Copilot is listed as an allowed contributor for CLA checks.
