GitHub allows specifying custom instructions for the GitHub Copilot reviewer [1]. Currently, we have a top level file, but GitHub supports having different instructions for different files, which requires creating an `instructions` subdirectory with multiple files and a patch it applies to. This PR moves the top level file into a new `instructions` directory, and make it apply to the `llvm/` subdirectory. I spoke with Mircea at the Dev Meeting and that should match his original intent.
