Consider auto approving of file writes to /tmp

[Tyriar]

Copilot may want to run something like this:

npm run test:server:main 2>&1 | tee /tmp/test_output.log

This will not be auto approved currently because:

• tee isn't auto approved
• Even if it was, it's writing to /tmp which we don't allow anywhere atm

We should consider adding auto approve for tee as well as allowing writes to /tmp as part of chat.tools.terminal.blockDetectedFileWrites

Is there any workaround or alternative here?

Something changed in the past few weeks, and now there are constant permission prompts to write to /tmp. I don't know if this problem is exposed because:

• Permissions/authorization changes to core vscode
• Something that is triggering more writes to /tmp

Various prompt related attempts to fix this also don't work properly: Do not write temporary files outside of the workspace

 File write operations detected that cannot be auto approved: \workspaces\MyProduct\$file.__tmp__

This is the second time I’ve gotten File write operations detected that cannot be auto approved with only an Allow button. The first time, I ended up clicking the Allow button a hundred times. There should be an “Always Allow” option to create a global allow rule, and there should also be other options (for example, allowing it for this session only).
