This PR adds a full-length tutorial for using GitHub Copilot in IntelliJ IDEA, covering the following sections as discussed in Issue #124:

  1. Setting Up GitHub Copilot Access
  2. Installing the GitHub Copilot Plugin
  3. Signing In to GitHub
  4. Verifying Copilot in Action
  5. Troubleshooting Common Issues

All required screenshots have been added to the tutorials/images/intellijcopilot/ directory, and are embedded contextually in the Markdown file for visual clarity.

This PR is scoped only to Sections 1–5 as per @damithc's comment — Sections 6 (Best Practices) and 7 (Other AI Plugins) will be considered for a future PR if needed.

Looking forward to feedback from the maintainers!

This part is not specific to Intellij. Must be covered in somewhere else already.
