Add outdated detection to collections, instructions, and prompts suggestion files

Similar to c12041b which added outdated agent detection, this commit adds:
- Version comparison process for detecting outdated local assets
- Fetch remote versions step in the process workflow
- Updated icons reference with outdated status indicators
- Update handling sections for managing outdated assets
- Updated output table examples to show outdated status

# Suggest Awesome GitHub Copilot Instructions

1. **Fetch Available Instructions**: Extract instruction list and descriptions from [awesome-copilot README.instructions.md](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/main/docs/README.instructions.md). Must use `#fetch` tool.
2. **Scan Local Instructions**: Discover existing instruction files in `.github/instructions/` folder
3. **Extract Descriptions**: Read front matter from local instruction files to get descriptions and `applyTo` patterns
4. **Analyze Context**: Review chat history, repository files, and current project needs
5. **Compare Existing**: Check against instructions already available in this repository
6. **Match Relevance**: Compare available instructions against identified patterns and requirements
7. **Present Options**: Display relevant instructions with descriptions, rationale, and availability status

4. **Fetch Remote Versions**: For each local instruction, fetch the corresponding version from awesome-copilot repository using raw GitHub URLs (e.g., `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/awesome-copilot/main/instructions/<filename>`)
5. **Compare Versions**: Compare local instruction content with remote versions to identify:
- Instructions that are up-to-date (exact match)
- Instructions that are outdated (content differs)
- Key differences in outdated instructions (description, applyTo patterns, content)

## Version Comparison Process
1. For each local instruction file, construct the raw GitHub URL to fetch the remote version:
- Pattern: `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/awesome-copilot/main/instructions/<filename>`
2. Fetch the remote version using the `fetch` tool
3. Compare entire file content (including front matter and body)
4. Identify specific differences:
- **Front matter changes** (description, applyTo patterns)
- **Content updates** (guidelines, examples, best practices)
5. Document key differences for outdated instructions
6. Calculate similarity to determine if update is needed

- Scan local file system for existing instructions in `instructions/` directory
- Use `githubRepo` tool to get content from awesome-copilot repository instructions folder
- Scan local file system for existing instructions in `.github/instructions/` directory
- Read YAML front matter from local instruction files to extract descriptions and `applyTo` patterns
- Compare local instructions with remote versions to detect outdated instructions
- Compare against existing instructions in this repository to avoid duplicates
- Focus on gaps in current instruction library coverage
- Validate that suggested instructions align with repository's purpose and standards
- Provide clear rationale for each suggestion
- Include links to both awesome-copilot instructions and similar local instructions
- Clearly identify outdated instructions with specific differences noted
- Consider technology stack compatibility and project-specific needs
- Don't provide any additional information or context beyond the table and the analysis
## Icons Reference
- ✅ Already installed in repo
- ✅ Already installed and up-to-date
- ⚠️ Installed but outdated (update available)
- ❌ Not installed in repo
## Update Handling
When outdated instructions are identified:
1. Include them in the output table with ⚠️ status
2. Document specific differences in the "Suggestion Rationale" column
3. Provide recommendation to update with key changes noted
4. When user requests update, replace entire local file with remote version
5. Preserve file location in `.github/instructions/` directory
