📄 Description

This PR adds comprehensive GitHub Copilot support for the LLDAP repository through two key files:

.github/copilot-instructions.md - Detailed development instructions including:
- Validated build commands with accurate timing measurements (3-6 minute builds with proper timeouts)
- Complete development workflows for backend (Rust) and frontend (Yew/WASM) development
- Manual validation scenarios for testing LDAP and web interfaces
- Comprehensive troubleshooting guides for common development issues
- Critical safety measures with "NEVER CANCEL" warnings for long-running operations
.github/copilot-setup-steps.yml - Automated environment setup that:
- Installs system dependencies (curl, gzip, binaryen, build-essential)
- Sets up the Rust toolchain with proper environment configuration
- Installs wasm-pack for frontend WASM compilation
- Verifies all installations are working correctly

The instructions follow an imperative tone with copy-pasteable commands that have been validated during development. The setup steps file ensures the Copilot agent has all necessary tools available before starting work, eliminating common development friction points.

This significantly improves Copilot's ability to assist developers by providing context-aware, tested instructions that work reliably in the LLDAP development environment.

Fixes #1251.

💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Learn more Copilot coding agent tips in the docs.
