Adds two new documentation pages for Copilot session tracking (chronicle).

New pages

  • docs/copilot/chat/session-insights.md — Chronicle commands, free-form querying, what gets tracked
  • docs/copilot/chat/session-sync.md — Cloud sync (on by default), opt-out, exclude repos, enterprise policy, session sharing, privacy

Updates to existing pages

  • docs/toc.json — Added entries under Chat section
  • docs/copilot/reference/copilot-settings.md — Added three settings (defaults: true)
  • docs/copilot/chat/chat-sessions.md — Cross-link to session insights
  • docs/redirection.json — Redirect from old path

Aligned with GitHub docs-internal PR #60985 and VS Code source (extensions/copilot/src/extension/chronicle + platform/chronicle).
