"Reopen folder using..." should use a more dedicated ux solution, not notifications

See original GitHub issue

Refs: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/119463

Currently we have mulitple experience to reopen the folder because there is a Dev Container file or a .code-workspace file. Both of them use notifications in order to make the user aware of this.

Instead of this I propose the following:

Do not use notificaitons for this (especially painful since they appear on startup)
We should consider showing this in the empty editor area instead of action hints. Button “Reopen in Container”
Consider having this in the welcome view
We should have something in the explorer. Either a Ttitle area button, or a blue button in the empty area

fyi @misolori @bpasero for ideas

I agree that this should have a UX discussion first before removing notifications.

Btw the one for workspace has a “Do not show again” scoped for the workspace (not globally).

@bamurtaugh I like that point for just choosing the “Current Folder” automatically! As for the badges, maybe I can bring this up in the next UX sync @misolori
