docs: update Learning Hub with CLI v1.0.40–v1.0.41 features (#1626)

Browse Source 
Add documentation for features shipped in Copilot CLI v1.0.40 and
the v1.0.41 prerelease builds that weren't yet covered in the Hub:

- copilot-configuration-basics.md: document --attachment flag for
  attaching images/documents in prompt mode (-p)
- automating-with-hooks.md: extend the prompt mode security callout
  to cover the new GITHUB_COPILOT_PROMPT_MODE_EXTENSIONS env var
  (user extensions load by default; project extensions need opt-in)
- building-custom-agents.md: note that ACP clients receive the
  agent's live plan in real time for multi-step tasks (v1.0.40+)

Set it higher for long-running tasks, or lower for tasks where you want more frequent checkpoints. Setting it to `0` disables automatic continuation entirely.
The `--attachment` flag (available in prompt mode, `-p`) lets you attach files — images or native documents — to the initial prompt in non-interactive mode:
```bash
copilot -p "Summarize the architecture shown in these diagrams" \
--attachment arch-overview.png \
--attachment data-flow.pdf
```
This is useful in automated pipelines where you want to pass visual or document context (screenshots, design specs, PDF reports) to the model without interactive file selection. Multiple `--attachment` flags can be specified to include several files at once.
The `COPILOT_HOME` environment variable sets the Copilot CLI configuration directory. It is the preferred replacement for the `--config-dir` flag, which is deprecated:
