Add comprehensive .github/copilot-instructions.md for GitHub Copilot coding agent (#93)
This PR adds a comprehensive `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file that
provides GitHub Copilot coding agents with detailed instructions for
working effectively in the Protols codebase.

## What's Included

The instructions file provides complete guidance for:

**Build & Development Workflow:**
- Step-by-step setup with exact commands and validated timing
expectations
- Rust toolchain usage (`cargo build` ~1 min, `cargo test` ~6 sec,
`cargo clippy` ~15 sec)
- External dependency setup (protoc, clang-format) with verification
commands
- Critical timeout warnings ("NEVER CANCEL" with 90+ minute timeouts for
builds)

**Manual Validation Scenarios:**
- 4 comprehensive test scenarios covering build validation, dependency
verification, LSP functionality testing, and sample file validation
- Specific commands for testing core LSP features (hover, workspace
operations, go-to-definition)
- Integration testing with Protocol Buffer files using protoc and
clang-format

**Project Navigation & Structure:**
- Detailed source code organization (`src/lsp.rs`, `src/parser/`,
`src/workspace/`, etc.)
- Key files and their purposes (1400+ lines across 22 test modules)
- Sample files for testing (`sample/simple.proto`, test input files)

**Development Best Practices:**
- Common debugging workflows and log file locations
- Performance expectations and timing guidelines
- CI validation requirements (`cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy`, full
test suite)

## Validation

Every single command in the instructions has been tested and validated
to work correctly:
-  All build commands execute successfully with measured timing
-  Full test suite passes (22 tests in ~6 seconds)
-  External dependencies (protoc 3.21.12, clang-format 18.1.3) verified
-  LSP functionality confirmed through specific test execution
-  Sample proto file processing validated

The instructions follow an imperative tone ("Run this command", "Always
test") and provide copy-pasteable commands that agents can execute
reliably to build, test, and validate changes to the Language Server
Protocol implementation.

Fixes #92.
