Description of Changes
extension vscode/vim fails to install and run on code editor, because it evaluates string as javascript, which is blocked due to CSP policy.
Updated code to relax CSP policy for webWorkerExtensionHostIframe.html to 'unsafe-eval' to fix extension loading failures.
This should not cause big security concerns because extensions are run on sandboxed environment and with limited privilege. Moreover, the restriction now breaks legitimate extensions which impact user experience.
