activate the extension even if i've an invalid copilot license

[anas-araid]

once we've added github.copilot-chat as extension dependency, it requires a valid copilot license to be activated.

find a way to disable "chat participant" feature if so.

This would be great! Would be able to use this with other editors like Cursor (even if that's without the Chat Participant features)

It would be nice if the dependency on github.copilot-chat was optional. Today I installed continue (which allows using local models for code completion and chat), and my thought process was ok, I don't need github copilot anymore, so I went to disable it. Then I got the warning that if I disable it, the supabase extension will also be disabled since it depends on copilot.
In my opinion, since the supabase extension still provides other useful features such as an overview of the database tables and migrations, it would be nice if this extension didn't also require you to use copilot.
(But this will depend on in what direction you want to take this extension in the future. If more functionality that doesn't depend on copilot will be added, then this will become more important.)
