docs: add /autopilot and /fork commands from v1.0.45 (#1675)

Browse Source 
Document two new CLI slash commands introduced in Copilot CLI v1.0.45
(released 2026-05-11):

- /autopilot: toggle between interactive and autopilot modes mid-session
- /fork: copy the current session into a new independent session

Both are added to the 'CLI Session Commands' section of the
Copilot Configuration Basics learning hub page.

The `/fork` command (v1.0.45+) copies the current session into a **new independent session** that starts from the same conversation state. The original session continues unchanged — you can switch back to it at any time. This is useful when you want to explore two different approaches to a problem simultaneously:
```
/fork
```
After forking, the new session is immediately active. Both sessions share the same history up to the fork point but accumulate changes independently from that moment forward. Use `/fork` to experiment with a risky refactor without abandoning your current working session.
The `/cd` command changes the working directory for the current session.

This is useful for automated pipelines that drive Copilot CLI through the ACP protocol.
The `/autopilot` command (v1.0.45+) is a quick in-session toggle that switches between **interactive mode** (where the agent pauses to ask for confirmation before tool use) and **autopilot mode** (where it runs autonomously). Unlike `/allow-all` which specifically controls whether tool permissions are required, `/autopilot` toggles the overall agent mode:
```
/autopilot # toggle between interactive and autopilot modes
```
Use `/autopilot` when you want to flip between supervised and unsupervised operation mid-session without typing out the full `/allow-all on` or `/allow-all off` commands.
