Add Forge introduction prompt content and set default language preference

[Copilot]

The forge-start-introduction.prompt.md contained only an easter egg comment — no actual instructions — leaving the Forge Introduction agent with nothing to act on when a user ran /forge-start-introduction. The preferred_language in forge.settings.json was also uninitialized ("TO BE SET"), blocking the mandatory language validation gate in copilot-instructions.md.

Changes

• forge.settings.json: Set preferred_language to "English", satisfying the language validation check required before any Copilot interaction proceeds.
• forge-start-introduction.prompt.md: Added prompt body instructing the Forge Introduction agent to:
  • Welcome the user to the Copilot FORGE
  • Describe the interactive learning experience (challenges in forge/, AI-assisted development)
  • Ask for the user's Copilot experience level and tailor the intro accordingly
  • Guide them toward their first challenge

The easter egg block is preserved intact; the new instructions follow it.
