docs: fix misleading YOLO mode description in defaultApprovalMode

[Gyanranjan-Priyam]

Summary

Fixes #21883

Fixes incorrect/misleading documentation that stated "yolo is not supported yet" when YOLO mode is actually fully supported.

Problem

The documentation for general.defaultApprovalMode setting incorrectly stated:

"'yolo' is not supported yet."

This was misleading because YOLO mode is fully functional. The setting does not include yolo as an option because it is intentionally excluded from being set as a default in settings.json for security reasons—not because the feature does not exist.

Solution

Updated the description to accurately explain that:

1. YOLO mode is fully supported and auto-approves all actions
2. It can only be enabled via command line flags (--yolo or --approval-mode=yolo) for security reasons

Changes

• Updated settingsSchema.ts with the corrected description
• Regenerated settings.schema.json, docs/cli/settings.md, and docs/reference/configuration.md

Testing

All existing tests pass.

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves an inaccuracy in the documentation for the general.defaultApprovalMode setting. The previous documentation incorrectly indicated that 'yolo' mode was unsupported. The changes clarify that YOLO mode is fully functional for automatically approving actions, but its activation is restricted to specific command-line flags for security purposes, rather than being configurable as a default in settings.json. This update provides users with precise information regarding the feature's availability and proper usage.
