Release notes for v1.0.2

While the GitHub Copilot in the CLI team reviews GA adoption and feedback, we wanted to address some quality of life fixes impacting users:

Enhance ghcs to work for Alpine Linux

ghcs uses a temporary directory with 3 placeholders required for BSD. This has been enhanced to use 6 placeholders needed for Alpine Linux.

For more information, see https://github.com/github/gh-copilot/issues/66 with thanks to @cirolosapio!

Fix PowerShell instructions to avoid word splitting

For Windows users with spaces in PowerShell profile path, the PowerShell alias setup instructions would break due to word splitting. This has been addressed in the documented and generated setup instructions.
