azd pipeline config fails for github since GITHUB_TOKEN is not an allowed secret. GH automatically injects this secret

[AlahmadiQ8]

my workaround is to create a copy of the environment and delete GITHUB_TOKEN from the .env file and run azd pipeline config -e "cicd-env"

While this works, i need to figure out how to add copilot scope for the automatically injected GITHUB_TOKEN.

unfortunately, it is not easy to do. the closes thing i found is this:

https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli/automate-with-actions

My recommendation:

• Rename GITHUB_TOKEN to COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN to avoid collision

[AlahmadiQ8]

I changed everything to COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN.

One fix i also needed to do is to update the preprovission script as follows:

and update the github actions to include COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN }} in the provision and deploy steps
