Use package.json when condition instead of custom filtering for get_project_setup_info tool

[Copilot]

Problem

The get_project_setup_info tool was visible to language models but included instructions warning against calling it until the create_workspace tool was executed first. This created a confusing user experience where the model could see tools it shouldn't use.

Solution

Instead of implementing custom tool filtering logic, this change leverages VS Code's built-in conditional tool mechanism using the existing when condition in package.json.

Both copilot_createNewWorkspace and copilot_getProjectSetupInfo tools already have the same "when": "config.github.copilot.chat.newWorkspaceCreation.enabled" condition defined in package.json. This approach:

• Uses VS Code's standard conditional tool system
• Maintains consistency between related tools
• Eliminates the need for custom filtering logic
• Follows established VS Code extension patterns

Key Changes

• Removed custom tool filtering logic from ToolsService.getEnabledTools()
• Removed workspace creation context detection methods
• Tool visibility now controlled entirely by the config.github.copilot.chat.newWorkspaceCreation.enabled configuration

The tool will now be visible/hidden based on VS Code's configuration system rather than runtime filtering, providing a cleaner and more standard approach to conditional tool availability.

@copilot Revert this change. We should be enabling/disabling the get_project_setup_info tool in package.json based on a condition triggered by the copilot_createNewWorkspace being invoked

I've reverted the custom tool filtering logic as requested. The changes now rely on VS Code's built-in conditional tool mechanism using the existing "when": "config.github.copilot.chat.newWorkspaceCreation.enabled" condition in package.json instead of custom filtering in the ToolsService.

Both copilot_createNewWorkspace and copilot_getProjectSetupInfo tools now use the same configuration-based visibility mechanism.
