Pull request overview
This pull request adds support for customizing the npm registry URL in the .NET SDK to accommodate organizations that use private npm registries. The SDK automatically downloads the Copilot CLI binary from npm during the build process, and this change makes the registry URL configurable via an MSBuild property.
Changes:
- Added
CopilotNpmRegistryUrlMSBuild property with a default value ofhttps://registry.npmjs.org - Updated the
_CopilotDownloadUrlproperty to use the configurable registry URL instead of the hardcoded public npm registry

Our repos enforce using private feeds and npm registry to fetch packages. But the .NET SDK attempts to download Copilot package from public npm registry.
This change allows customizing the registry url by defined a MSBuild property in the csproj or props file -
CopilotNpmRegistryUrl.Note: an improvement could be attempting to find and parse any existing
.npmrcfiles in any parent directories, but that ends up complicating this target a bit, so skipping for now
