What is the difference between /ide/bin/remote-cli/gitpod-code and /ide/bin/helpers/browser.sh

[ghuntley]

Objective

Question:

1. Do we have tech debt here that should be cleaned up?
2. Which one should be documented on https://www.gitpod.io/docs/ides-and-editors/vscode-browser 👍
3. export EDITOR is currently set to /ide/bin/remote-cli/gitpod-code

Removed the ~feedback-issue label to avoid any confusion as feedback issues are used to gather feedback, suggestions, and experiences from users while iterating on a specific product feature.

Cross-posting also the recently updated issue template description in #11244.

Both scripts are calling the same parent script, the only difference is that the browser.sh is passing on an additional CLI argument: "--openExternal", which is why I think it's aliased browser.sh
