Description

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

I would like to a have a user-wide copilot instruction file to list some things relevant to my dev machine. Like "use this python installation", my shell is fish so heredocs don't work, do this instead, etc.

Proposed solution

Source a ~/.copilot/AGENTS.md or ~/.copilot/instructions.md by default like AGENTS.md in current directory.
