Add copilot[bot] to CLA allowlist

[Copilot]

This PR adds copilot[bot] to the CLA allowlist in the GitHub Actions workflow configuration to ensure that GitHub Copilot contributions are automatically allowed and don't require CLA signing.

Changes

• Updated .github/workflows/cla.yml to include copilot[bot] in the allowlist alongside the existing dependabot[bot] and stesee entries

Motivation

GitHub Copilot can create pull requests on behalf of users, and these contributions should be exempt from the CLA signing requirement. This change ensures that Copilot-generated PRs won't be blocked by the CLA Assistant workflow.

The allowlist now includes:

• dependabot[bot] - for automated dependency updates
• stesee - repository maintainer
• copilot[bot] - for GitHub Copilot contributions

This is consistent with how other GitHub bot accounts like Dependabot are handled in the CLA workflow.

Original prompt

Add Copilot to the allowlist in the cla.yml file if not already present. If the cla.yml file does not exist, create one in the appropriate location with Copilot in the allowlist. The goal is to ensure Copilot is listed as an allowed contributor for CLA checks.
