Description

Everytime I open a new neovim instance(i.e typing `nvim` in the terminal , whether or not your opening a file/buffer doesn't matter) the following process pops up:
```
node ~/.npm/_npx/8784704caaadcd38/node_modules/.bin/copilot-language-server --stdio
```
For example, opening two terminals and typing 'nvim' causes two process like this to appear. When closing `nvim` , these processes linger on taking up RAM until they eventually die(don't know how much time , but not being killed immediately is too long)

A similar issue is currently open in the pure lua replacement of this plugin [copilot.lua](https://github.com/zbirenbaum/copilot.lua/issues/625)

I have disabled this plugin because using it is unbearable on a system with limited RAM
