How to add copilot to VS Code Server on SCC

1. Download the Copilot Extension file (.vsix) from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.copilot.
2. Add the file to your workspace in VS Code Server (you can drag and drop from your local environment).
3. Right click on the file and hit "Install Extension VSIX" on the bottom.
4. Once installed, an alert in the bottom right should appear saying something like "Github Copilot needs to sign in to Github". Authenticate using the instructions and you should be all set.

Note: At the moment, you need to re-do step 4 every time you open a new VS Code Server session.

Also note that this process doesn't seem to work for CoPilot Chat.
