Description

### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

Currently, the Copilot CLI only shows per-session AIC usage via the /usage command. However, IDE plugins (like IntelliJ) display monthly quota information (e.g., "6219/12000 used, 52% of monthly limit").

### Proposed solution

Add a command (e.g., /quota or extend /usage) that displays:

- Monthly AIC limit (e.g., 12,000)
- AIC used this month (e.g., 6,219)
- Percentage used (e.g., 52%)
- Days until reset (e.g., "Resets in 6 days")

Research direction

Start by locating the existing /usage command and tracing how it obtains and displays per-session AIC usage. Determine whether monthly limit, usage, percentage, and reset timing are available to the CLI, then make the selected command display all four values and verify the output against the proposed example.
