Why:

Closes:

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Updated the Configuring MCP servers manually section to reflect the current Visual Studio Code UI.

The existing documentation instructs users to open Copilot Chat by clicking the Copilot icon in the title bar. The icon has changed in recent versions of Visual Studio Code, so this update changes the instruction to match the current UI and make it easier for users to identify and open Copilot Chat.
