This PR adds information about GitHub Copilot support to the terminal documentation as requested in the issue.

Changes made:

  • Added a new section "GitHub Copilot in the Terminal" to the terminal basics document with comprehensive information about:
    • Using Terminal Inline Chat to get help with shell commands
    • Using the @Terminal participant in the Chat view
    • Using terminal-specific context variables like #terminalSelection and #terminalLastCommand
  • Fixed the existing link in the "Next steps" section to point to the correct Copilot terminal documentation
  • Added an example image of terminal inline chat in action
  • Provided examples of common use cases and commands

This addition helps users discover and use Copilot's terminal-related features which were previously not documented in the terminal section.

Fixes #8275.
