Surface WSL and Dev Containers in the Remote picker #8251

Related: microsoft/vscode#173396
WSL extension requires additional contexts before enable this for the remote picker.
The current experience for creating new connection for WSL without the necessary dependencies is a mix of user interactions inside and out of vscode which can break a new user's flow (WSL needs a distro install and redirects users via notifications to the distro downloads page.). There is an opportunity here to clean up the WSL getting started experience.
