Clarify system dependencies step: explain OCR/CAS tooling

[Copilot]

The "Install system dependencies" step comment only mentioned R package libraries, but the step also installs OCR (tesseract-ocr) and CAS (maxima) tooling with no explanation for future maintainers.

Changes

• .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml: Replaced the single-line step comment with a categorized bullet list describing each group of packages installed:
  • C/C++ libraries for R packages
  • PDF processing tools (poppler-utils)
  • OCR tools (tesseract-ocr)
  • Computer algebra system (maxima)
  • Python pip

# Install system dependencies needed for this project, including:
#
# - C/C++ libraries required by R packages (libcurl, libssl, libxml2, etc.)
# - PDF processing tools (poppler-utils) for working with PDF documents
# - OCR tools (tesseract-ocr) for optical character recognition tasks
# - A computer algebra system (maxima) for symbolic math computations
# - Python pip for additional tooling
