* chat: offer Microsoft sign-in when an Entra account links to GitHub Sign-in surfaces can now offer "Continue with Microsoft" only to users who can actually use it: those with a Microsoft work or school account that GitHub links to a GitHub account (for example an Enterprise Managed User). The workbench checks this silently in the background, through two session options that only the workbench can set (extensions' getSession requests have every `_workbench*` option stripped): - microsoft-authentication returns silent tokens for the broker's work and school accounts, including ones not yet approved for VS Code, without approving, caching, persisting or announcing anything. - github-authentication exchanges those tokens for a `read:user` token, reads the linked account, and revokes the token when the host and build allow it. `chat.microsoftAuthentication.enabled` becomes `auto` / `always` / `never`, defaulting to `never` and rolled out through experimentation (legacy `true` and `false` keep their meaning). The chat setup dialog and the first-run onboarding screen follow the result without ever waiting for it.

A probe still running when the accounts change has its answer discarded, since it answers for accounts that may be gone. Token refreshes, which only report `changed`, are ignored so they do not mint GitHub tokens. Also stop promising unconditional revocation of the probe's GitHub token, and describe the setting as covering sign-in surfaces, including the welcome screen.
