[Feat]: Allow installing .vsix extensions in restricted environments

See original GitHub issue

What is your suggestion?

Allow users to install .vsix extensions offline via the CLI.

Why do you want this feature?

Some community members and customers work in airgapped or offline environments and want to be able to install extensions.

Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?

No.

Are you interested in submitting a PR for this?

Yes

Technically this is upstream, but I’m considering fixing it first in code-server and then submitting a patch upstream

If there is a firewall dropping packets then I assume there is a timeout somewhere in code-server we can lower although I am not sure what a good timeout is; maybe in some slow environments it really does take two minutes to resolve. So if this is what is happening then the ideal fix is likely to make the firewall respond with a denial rather than silently dropping.

@cccs-nik very helpful - thank you so much! Appreciate your help.

I was chatting with @code-asher - we believe that this only happens in restricted environments. He was doing some poking around to see if we could figure out what the root cause is. Still working on that though.
