[Feature] Expose CMake commands to Copilot Agent mode
Request Overview
It would be helpful when working with Copilot Agent mode if CMake commands like Configure, Build, Run Tests, etc. were exposed as tools to the agent. This would allow it to do things like rerun Configure after adding a new source file, run the build to check that the modified code compiles, and run tests to check that they pass.

Just to be clear what I mean, I'm referring to the VSCode form of these commands -- what the user would do if they were doing the work. I have my projects configured in VSCode so that the various CMake commands just work. If the agent is left to do these things through the command-line, it has to figure out the correct forms of the commands etc. so that builds and tests are run correctly. It would be much simpler for it to simply invoke the VSCode commands to perform these actions.
