Add a 'dispatch new [dir]' subcommand that starts a brand-new Copilot session directly from the command line, mirroring the TUI launch path. It reuses the existing resume builders, which treat an empty session ID as a new session, and honors the configured agent, model, and launch mode. Supports an optional directory argument and a --mode override. Wired into handleArgs, the three shell completion scripts, and usage output. Documented in the README. Closes #223 Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
Adds a
dispatch new [dir]subcommand that starts a brand-new Copilot session directly from the command line, without opening the TUI.Today the only way to start a fresh session is to launch the TUI or invoke the Copilot CLI by hand. This adds a first-class command that mirrors the TUI's launch behavior for new sessions.
