Hide "XML Document" Tree View for Non-XML Documents

See original GitHub issue

Like the title says, you should only display the explorer tree view when a user opens a XML document. It’s a waste of space having it there all the time. Not sure about it, but I believe this could be achieved using the onLanguage activation event: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/activation-events

Hi @DotJoshJohnson , you can activate this extension only under xml language. In package.json:

"activationEvents": [
        "onLanguage:xml"
    ],
"contributes": {
        "languages": [{
            "id": "xml",
            "aliases": [
                "XML",
                "xml"
            ],
            "extensions": [
                ".xml"
            ]
        }],
 "grammars": [{
            "language": "xml"
        }],

So we avoid triggering the extension with unsupported programming languages and consequently saving resources
