Manfred Riem 860a49edb1 docs: add guide for handling complex features (#3004)
* docs: add guide for handling complex features

Add a Concepts page documenting strategies for dealing with large or
complex features where context window exhaustion degrades agent
performance during implementation. Covers limiting tasks per run,
sub-agent delegation, combining both, and decomposing into smaller
specs, with a guideline table for choosing an approach.

Closes #2986

* docs: address review feedback on complex features guide

Use task IDs (T001-T010) instead of bare numbers to match the tasks.md
template format, and add the combined scoping + delegation approach to
the selection table for completeness.

* docs: align complex features guide with command naming conventions

Use the full /speckit.implement command name throughout, match the
command template wording ('must consider'), and use the product names
GitHub Copilot CLI and the GitHub Copilot extension for VS Code.
