Support uploading images by drag&drop or by pasting from clipboard

Testing microsoft/vscode#57301

In the web UI of GitHub, it is possible to upload images, while this is not possible with this extension.

This is sometimes useful when discussing how things look like.

IIRC the GitHub API doesn't provide any way to upload images >.<

@connorshea in the GitHub web app if you drop an image it creates a markdown link and uploads the image to user-images.githubusercontent.com. I guess you would have to implement that behavior in the extension's text fields in order for that to work.

That's a bummer too, because if I can't drag images from Gif Keyboard to PR approvals, I can't approve PRs with this extension. It's great for everything else though!

Workaround idea: A (potentially separate) plugin that uploads images that are DnD to another online service i.e. Imgur.
Then use the link generated from that service inside the markdown of the comment/description.

Hey 👋 Is there a roadmap for enabling the addition of images directly through the Visual Studio Code extension in the near future?
That would be a nice improvement!

Yes please.

I am looking forward to this feature!
