Description
### Short summary
Disabled and then removed MCP servers remain in `disabledMcpServers`
### Affected version or release
v0.2.7
### Installation context
_No response_
### What happened?
Disabling an MCP server and then deleting it keeps the disabledMcpServers state in ~/.copilot/settings.json
This can be problematic when an mcp server defined in the plugin shares the same name. For example I manually added a `seismic` mcp server, disabled it, deleted it, and then added a plugin that references a `seismic` mcp server. The skill in the plugin failed to work because it was marked as disabled.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Add mcp server
2. disable mcp server
3. delete mcp server
4. Note output of `cat ~/.copilot/settings.json | jq .disabledMcpServers`
### Expected behavior
disabledMcpServers is cleared when the mcp server is deleted.
