docs: consolidate agent instructions into AGENTS.md

cijothomas · cijothomas · commit a49ec81ee9cc · 2026-04-30T10:01:57.000-07:00
GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and other agents read AGENTS.md, so the .github/copilot-instructions.md stub is no longer needed. Keep CLAUDE.md as a thin pointer to AGENTS.md since Claude Code is only guaranteed to read CLAUDE.md (see open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust#3480 discussion).
