Auto-detect both VS Code (stable) and VS Code Insiders installations. When multiple variants are found, a dropdown arrow appears next to the button letting the user choose. The selection is persisted via SettingsService. The button label adapts to show the active variant name. URI scheme switches between vscode:// and vscode-insiders:// based on the selected installation. Closes KirillOsenkov#935 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Just wanted to try out the feature but didn't have regular Code installed. Feature worked well! I wrote an mcp sever just for fun as well if @YuliiaKovalova or others are interested. I was mostly interested in the AI David feature to try to automate @dfederm. But turns out we still need him. |

Summary
Auto-detect both VS Code (stable) and VS Code Insiders installations so the Open in VS Code button works for users who only have Insiders installed.
When multiple variants are found, a small dropdown arrow appears next to the button to let the user switch. The choice is persisted across sessions.
Closes #935
