Fix dead links in prompt.instructions.md Additional Resources (#3121)

All three links in this section are stale. One is a hard 404, the other two
point at VS Code documentation paths that have since been restructured.

- The "Awesome Copilot Prompt Files" link pointed at
  github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/main/prompts, which returns 404.
  There is no prompts/ directory in this repository, no *.prompt.md file
  anywhere in it, and no prompts page on the site — awesome-copilot.github.com
  serves agents, instructions, skills, plugins and extensions only, and
  /prompts/ is a 404 there too. Since the collection no longer exists, the
  bullet is removed rather than repointed.

- "Prompt Files Documentation" moved from /docs/copilot/customization/
  prompt-files to /docs/agent-customization/prompt-files. The old path still
  redirects, but the destination is now explicit. The #_prompt-file-format
  anchor still exists on the new page, so the deep link is preserved.

- "Tool Configuration" pointed at /docs/copilot/chat/chat-agent-mode
  #_agent-mode-tools. That path now redirects to the generic chat overview,
  where the #_agent-mode-tools anchor no longer exists, so the link landed
  readers on a page with no tool configuration content. Updated to
  /docs/agents/run/tools, the current page for selecting and managing tools.

Every URL was requested directly and the resulting status and final URL
recorded. Both replacements return 200, and the surviving anchor was
confirmed present in the new page's markup.
