Auto-assign current user to issues created from TODO/FIXME comments

[Copilot]

Automatically assigns the current user when creating issues from TODO/FIXME comments via code actions, if the user is assignable in the repository.

Changes

• Enhanced createTodoIssue logic:
  • Retrieves authenticated GitHub user when creating an issue
  • Checks if the current user is assignable in the repository
  • Automatically assigns the user if they have permission to be assigned
  • Merges with existing assignees from @username mentions in comments
  • Fails gracefully if user retrieval or assignability check fails

Behavior

No configuration required - the feature works automatically based on repository permissions.

// TODO: refactor this method
function foo() { ... }

Triggering "Create GitHub Issue" on the TODO comment creates an issue assigned to the current user (if they are assignable in the repository).

// TODO @teammate: refactor this method  
function bar() { ... }

Both the current user (if assignable) and @teammate are assigned to the created issue.

@copilot Don't add a new setting. Instead, check if the user is assignable in the issue's repo, and assign if so.

Done! Removed the setting and implemented automatic assignment when the user is assignable in the repository. Changes in commit 54f340b.
