new published version seems not to support copilot

[YBIAN-BCS]

The previous version 0.2.1 can support using copilot as the model option, while the 0.3.0 says copilot is deprecated...

Just confirming @YBIAN-BCS as I see it's still an open issue and "GitHub Copilot" is not listed as a current model. Also curious if it's currently supported/an option engine.

@YBIAN-BCS I did some noodling this morning and was able to connect using the chat_github() option... if someone with the repo could confirm that this is the current copilot connection method, perhaps this issue could be closed?

library(chattr)

options(.chattr_chat=ellmer::chat_github())

Hi! Yes, moving to ellmer meant to remove any of the old integrations. They were to clunky and unreliable. And yes, I believe the GH option would be the way forward, but I haven't been able to confirm it myself
