Description
### Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
GitHub CLI now supports requesting Copilot code review from the terminal, which appears to address:
- cli/cli#10598
Examples documented in the changelog include:
- `gh pr edit --add-reviewer @copilot`
- `gh pr create --reviewer @copilot`

However, I could not find any way to choose **which model** Copilot should use for the review.
I checked the current implementation around:
- [`pkg/cmd/pr/review/review.go`](https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/pkg/cmd/pr/review/review.go)
- [`pkg/cmd/pr/shared/params.go`](https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/pkg/cmd/pr/shared/params.go)
- [`pkg/cmd/pr/create/create.go`](https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/pkg/cmd/pr/create/create.go)
- [`api/queries_repo_test.go`](https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/pkg/cmd/pr/create/create.go)
and related PRs:
- #12567
- #12627
- #12854
From what I can tell, the CLI supports `@copilot` as a reviewer identity, but there does not seem to be any parameter or plumbing for passing a model name along with the review request.
### Proposed solution
If the backend/product supports model selection for Copilot code review, it would be helpful for `gh` to expose it.
Possible UX ideas:
```bash
gh pr edit 123 --add-reviewer @copilot --copilot-model gpt-5
gh pr create --reviewer @copilot --copilot-model gpt-5
```
or possibly:
```bash
gh pr edit 123 --add-reviewer @copilot:gpt-5
gh pr create --reviewer @copilot:gpt-5
```
