Support a default config file for permissions #2398

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

Setting permissions for every copilot session is too time consuming

Proposed solution

The current copilot CLI permissions behavior is detailed, but a bit of a hassle to set up for every session.

I suspect this ends up in two types of common user behaviors

User type A - nearly always runs /yolo
User type B - uses a lot of time accepting permissions when copilot CLI requests for it

I'd like to propose a copilot CLI default config file which will controls default permissions to tools, paths, shell commands and urls etc. This way users won't have to set up this for every new copilot session.

The config file should be used by default. The behavior should be overridable via CLI flags. E.g. copilot --allow-all-urls will take precedence of whatever is set of allowed urls in the config file. To disable the usage of the config file, a flag which explicitly disables reading the global config can be provided for the current session.
