Refresh 6 stale instruction files (#2133) (#2139)

* Refresh 6 stale instruction files flagged in #2133

Targeted refresh:
- blazor: C# 13 to C# 14. Drop the Visual Studio Enterprise mandate so contributors on VS Code or Rider aren't blocked by a paid SKU. Swap VS-only profiling for dotnet-trace and dotnet-counters.
- copilot-thought-logging: narrow applyTo from '**' to '**/Copilot-Processing.md'. Replace 9 Windows backslash paths with POSIX './Copilot-Processing.md' so the workflow works on macOS and Linux.
- genaiscript: drop the "avoid exception handlers or error checking" line. Replace it with: handle errors at I/O and external API boundaries, let unexpected exceptions surface.
- memory-bank: add the required 'description' frontmatter field (was a validation failure). Narrow applyTo from '**' to 'memory-bank/**'. Add an opt-in note so contributors know auxiliary files land in the workspace root.

Minor modernization:
- azure-functions-typescript: Node.js v20 to v22 LTS.
- localization: relative '../../issues' disclaimer link to absolute https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/issues so it resolves regardless of the localized doc's path.

docs/README.instructions.md regenerated by 'npm run build' to pick up the new memory-bank description.

* revert applyTo narrow on copilot-thought-logging (#2133 review)

aaronpowell flagged that narrowing applyTo from '**' to
'**/Copilot-Processing.md' inverts the instruction. The instruction
tells Copilot to CREATE Copilot-Processing.md when handling any user
request, so it must apply globally, not only when that file is
already open.

Restore applyTo to '**'. Keep the POSIX path fixes (backslash to
'./Copilot-Processing.md') and the other 5 file fixes in this PR
unchanged.
