[enhancement] Modify the OpenAI System prompt so that "Files" are interpreted as the Repo Map

[nevercast]

Issue

I often use the phrasing "Find files under the directory and modify them in some way". Often, GPT-4 comes back with:

I'm sorry for any confusion, but as an AI developed by OpenAI, I don't have the capability to list files or read the contents of a directory in a real filesystem

I suspect a change to the system prompt would assist with this situation.

I updated the prompts to use more natural phrasing about files, the git repo, etc. This should hopefully allow the LLM to better understand you when you make references to "the files" or "the repo", etc.

The change is available in the main branch. You can get it by installing the latest version from github:

python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider.git

If you have a chance to try it, let me know if it works better for you.

Hi Paul, thanks for taking a look at this and making some changes in your own repo.
Using the remote you provided, I don't see a change in the behaviour.
