Subject: [PATCH] ci: add copilot-setup-steps workflow for coding-agent parity

Mirror the sibling templates (go-template, platform-template) by provisioning
the .NET toolchain the Copilot coding agent needs before it starts. Tracks the
SDK floor via global.json so the agent toolchain never drifts (the .NET parity
to go-template's go-version-file: go.mod), and self-validates on changes to the
file. Part of the template-suite parity theme of #218.
