`Copilot cloud agent` adds faster, cheaper model options for simple tasks

Model choice now matters at delegation time. Use cheaper models for routine edits and reserve stronger ones for risky code paths.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Delegated tasks can now choose which model Copilot cloud agent uses, making cost and latency part of the workflow.
  2. The new additions target simple tasks, so routine fixes can avoid paying premium-model rates.
  3. This fits queueable work: small refactors, test updates, docs edits, and low-risk issue cleanup.
