Updated paths for project and personal skills in documentation. copilot-cli successfully reads skills from these locations.

Why:

Closes: #43418

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

I am adding documentation for the following paths where copilot-cli reads skills from:

  • ~/agents/skills/
  • ./agents/skill (in agent working directory)

Check off the following:

  • A subject matter expert (SME) has reviewed the technical accuracy of the content in this PR. In most cases, the author can be the SME. Open source contributions may require an SME review from GitHub staff.
  • The changes in this PR meet the docs fundamentals that are required for all content.
  • All CI checks are passing and the changes look good in the review environment.

Updated paths for project and personal skills in documentation. `copilot-cli` successfully reads skills from these locations.
