GITHUB_TOKEN and GH_TOKEN are not forwarded into eval containers by design (nonForwardableTokenEnvVars in pkg/config/auto.go). Add a WARNING callout with the -e GITHUB_TOKEN workaround to both the evaluation docs and the GitHub Copilot provider docs. Fixes docker#3841 Signed-off-by: Priyanka Bajaj <[email protected]>

Fixes #3841
Eval containers deliberately do not receive GITHUB_TOKEN / GH_TOKEN, even though dedicated provider API keys are forwarded automatically (nonForwardableTokenEnvVars in pkg/config/auto.go excludes GITHUB_TOKEN). This is intentional but undocumented, and the asymmetry with other providers is confusing.
This PR adds a warning to the evaluation docs and the GitHub Copilot provider docs:
