Add GitHub token environment variable support for Copilot (#31392)

Browse source 
Add support for environment variables as authentication alternatives to
OAuth flow for Copilot. Closes #31172

We can include the token in HTTPS request headers to hopefully resolve
the rate limiting issue in #9483. This change will be part of a separate
PR.

Release Notes:

- Added support for manually providing an OAuth token for GitHub Copilot
Chat by assigning the GH_COPILOT_TOKEN environment variable
