chore: Automatically created AGENTS.md

Tim Zallmannrequested to merge
tz-project-agents-md into main

What does this merge request do and why?

This merge request adds comprehensive documentation for GitLab's AI services codebase. The new AGENTS.md file serves as a guide for GitLab Duo (an AI assistant) when working with this repository. The AGENTS.md in this repo was automatically created through a first test prompt.

The documentation explains the architecture of two main services: AI Gateway (which handles code suggestions and chat) and Duo Workflow Service (which manages complex AI workflows). It covers important technical patterns like how the system selects AI models, manages prompts, handles security for AI tools, and processes code suggestions.

The file also includes practical setup instructions, common commands for development tasks like testing and linting, and explains key relationships between different parts of the system that might not be obvious to new developers. This documentation will help both human developers and AI assistants better understand how to work with GitLab's AI features codebase.
