+	// Set the user installPluginCommand should run as
+	installPluginsCommand.SysProcAttr = &syscall.SysProcAttr{}
+	installPluginsCommand.SysProcAttr.Credential = &syscall.Credential{Uid: uint32(uid), Gid: uint32(gid)}


@skevetter on Windows, I get an error here: syscall.SysProcAttr has no field or method Credential.

Any advice on how to deal with it is greatly appreciated ;)

@skevetter I noticed logging improvements (multi-line output etc.) - thank you!
I also notice that for log entries with fields there are now some spaces added between the date and the log level, and the number of these spaces seems proportional to the total length of the fields logged...

Pull request overview

This PR adds support for installing JetBrains IDE plugins from devcontainer.json configuration. The implementation allows users to specify plugins in the customizations.jetbrains.plugins section of their devcontainer configuration, which will then be automatically installed when the JetBrains IDE backend is set up.

Key changes:

Added plugin installation functionality to JetBrains IDE setup process
Introduced new configuration structure for JetBrains customizations (plugins)
Added platform-specific user credential handling for running plugin installation as the correct user

Looks good. Don't worry too much about responding to all the comments if it is obvious. It mostly helps me when I am doing a lot of context switching.

log entries with fields there are now some spaces added between the date and the log level, and the number of these spaces seems proportional to the total length of the fields logged

I am still working on this and I am flexible to any feedback. I want the logs to quickly communicate what and where the issue occurred and any context that would save me time debugging the issue. Do you have an example of what you are describing?
