What are you trying to address

This commit adds content describing the use of techniques that may be useful for attributing and tracking AI-generated code in repositories.

• On the Copilots page, added content about:
  • How GitHub SWE Agent uses Co-authored-by trailers to denote authorship similar to pair programming
  • How a team might choose to use a custom git trailer as part of a convention on tracking commits with substantial AI authorship
  • How to use git trailers in general
• On the Git Guidance page:
  • Minor: Added a mention of git trailers in the section about Commit Message Structure, including how trailers are places in the commit message structure, a link to documentation, and a link to their use for AI code attribution.

In addition: Because the last editorial pass on the Copilots page seems to have been made in mid-2024, some of the GitHub extension tooling has been deprecated and then-preview features are now generally available. I revised the page to keep the overall structure and tone focusing on capabilities, removed mentions of past preview software, and updated links.

I am reviewing where to place this content for effectiveness. I think that I should add some git trailers information to the main page about Git, and update the page about using coding assistants to include the example suggestions about attribution.

I somewhat changed my approach:

• I added a brief mention of git trailers to the Git Guidance page
• I added the description of how to use git trailers for attributing AI authorship to the Copilots page
• ... and then I did a major band pass refresh of the Copilots page
