Clarify do-not-create-organization warning for Copilot Business standalone setup
The previous warning was a single unbolded paragraph buried under the trial button. Customers setting up a dedicated enterprise account for Copilot Business were missing it, creating an organization during the trial flow, and getting billed for GitHub Enterprise licenses they did not need. Changes: - Promote the warning to a [!WARNING] callout so it visually stands out - State the explicit goal-state (0 seats of GitHub Enterprise) - Add the consequence (billing for GitHub Enterprise) so readers understand the cost impact, not just the policy - Tell the reader what to do instead (add users directly to the enterprise) - Add one line calling out that this path is correct for ADO-only / non- GitHub-hosted code customers, which is the most common scenario for Copilot Business standalone Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Do not create any organizations during setup. Adding users to organizations assigns {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} licenses, while adding users directly to the enterprise keeps your setup limited to {% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %}.

This setup is also the recommended path for customers whose code lives outside of {% data variables.product.github %} (for example, on Azure DevOps) and who only want {% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %} in the IDE.
