Make it easier to restart a remote session from desktop VSCode #6672

Closed as not planned

Description

@loujaybee

When using VS Code Desktop, the user typically goes to Gitpod, uses the command pallette, and opens their changes on their local machine to make edits, however if you go away and come back, the workspace will have closed, and it might not be transparent to the user about the best way to restart their session, regain their code and continue working.

I don't have a particular solution in mind, we could potentially enable this workflow via the local companion app, to list the running workspaces and tab through to restart, we could do it via a command in the pallette on the local VS Code, or provide better pop-up notifications on VSCode to re-establish the remote session.

Similar to #6679 for JetBrains.
