Allow users to disable urgent notifications issued by Copilot CLI when needing attention #178

Description

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

When Copilot needs attention (i.e needs a permission), it sends an urgent notification, which messes up with user workflow when doing other actions.

This is quite problematic for me where I use notifications manually to switch between workspaces in Hyprland, and the option I have is to either disable all such actions for all apps, or enable it for all.

Such an option will allow similar behavior to Claude.

Proposed solution

Add a new flag to Github CLI so that urgent notifications are disabled.
This is required for Linux.

Example prompts or workflows

Possible solution: copilot --disable-urgent-notification
