ci: initial sync with canonical/copilot-collections
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged as b7f3752d, adding .copilot-collections.yaml, 7 instruction + 6 skill files, a weekly sync workflow, and pre-commit/Prettier exclusions. Later bumped to v0.13.0 (#2683), v0.15.0 (#2807), v0.18.0 (#2815).
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #2663 was merged into main as commit b7f3752d, landing the Copilot collections setup (instructions, skills, and weekly sync workflow) for charmcraft. The mechanism is proven working by follow-up bumps in #2683, #2807 and #2815 (now at v0.18.0) and a perms fix in #2796; failing CI jobs (ty, lint, snap tests) are pre-existing and unrelated to the added files.

Issue body
Adds GitHub Copilot instructions and skills to charmcraft, mirroring the setup from [canonical/imagecraft#327](https://github.com/canonical/imagecraft/pull/327) (itself based on [canonical/snapcraft#6196](https://github.com/canonical/snapcraft/pull/6196)).
## Added
- `.github/.copilot-collections.yaml` — pins `starcraft-core` and `starcraft-docs` collections at `v0.12.0`
- `.github/instructions/` — 7 Copilot instruction files covering core directives, Python commenting, documentation guidelines (general, RTD-specific, starcraft style/meta), and instructions authoring
- `.github/skills/` — 6 skill files for documentation review, style, structure, build, diataxis, and verification
- `.github/workflows/copilot-collections-update.yaml` — weekly cron workflow to auto-sync collections from `canonical/copilot-collections`
## Modified
- `.pre-commit-config.yaml` — excludes `^\.github/(skills|instructions)/` since these files are auto-generated
- `Makefile` — appends `!.github/instructions/**` and `!.github/skills/**` to `PRETTIER_FILES` to skip auto-generated content from formatting
