Add minimal code lens for "Start Coding Agent Session" on TODO comments

[Copilot]

Adds a simple code lens provider to show "Start Coding Agent Session" directly above TODO comments, making the coding agent feature more discoverable without duplicating existing functionality.

Changes Made

• Extended IssueTodoProvider to implement CodeLensProvider interface alongside existing CodeActionProvider
• Added minimal provideCodeLenses() method that only shows the coding agent session code lens (not duplicating create issue functionality)
• Code lens appears above TODO comments when Copilot Remote Agent Manager is available
• Reuses the same provider instance for both code actions and code lens registration

Behavior

The code lens complements the existing lightbulb code action by showing "Start Coding Agent Session" directly above TODO comments. Users can click the code lens or still use the quick fix menu - both trigger the same issue.startCodingAgentFromTodo command.

Example:

// TODO: Fix this bug
// ^ "Start Coding Agent Session" code lens appears here
function problematicFunction() {
    return null;
}

The implementation is minimal and focused - only adds the essential code lens functionality without changing existing behavior.

Implemented code lens provider for TODO items! The extension now shows "Start Coding Agent Session" code lens directly above TODO comments, making the feature much more discoverable. The code lens appears alongside the existing code action and triggers the same command. (commit 387de91)

@copilot this is way too complicated. Do the minimal changes necessary

Made the changes minimal as requested. Now only adds the CodeLensProvider interface to the existing class and a simple provideCodeLenses method that shows "Start Coding Agent Session" above TODO comments. Only 3 files changed with focused functionality. (commit d4112f1)
