Feature: add connection via mssql connection string

[JDeeth]

Would it be possible to add a connection string option for specifying a database connection, for SQL Server (mssql) connections as a starting point?

An example connection string, which in Azure Data Studio (RIP) and in the SQL Server extension allows connection without copying and pasting into multiple separate fields:

Server   = some.database.windows.net;
Database = something;
User Id  = someone;
Password = swordfish;

In this extension, this could be an additional field under New Connection when the mssql database type is selected. The connection name would default to the database name and the port to 1433.

For my job, I am constantly connecting to dozens of different databases using passwords that quickly expire. I have the credentials presented as SQL Server connection strings and it streamlines my work a lot to be able to paste the whole lot in one go!
