Prompt to create support bundle before Reload Window on SSH failure #970

@EhabY

Description

@EhabY

Split out from #955 point (4).

Summary

Detect Remote-SSH failure conditions before users click VS Code's native "Reload Window" prompt, then offer to create a Coder support bundle while volatile state is still available.

Proposed scope

  • Watch the actual Remote-SSH extension log for known failure markers:
    • permanent error
    • will give up now
    • Unknown reconnection token
    • socketFactory.connect() failed or timed out
    • Time limit reached
    • UnparsableOutput
  • Treat long process-loss/no-recovery windows as a failure signal without firing during normal reconnect cycles.
  • Show a notification:
    • Coder: remote session failed and won't auto-reconnect. Capture diagnostics now?
    • Actions: Create support bundle, Dismiss
  • Running Create support bundle should invoke the existing coder.supportBundle command.
  • Avoid duplicate notifications in a single failing session.

Notes

This is intentionally separate from #955's support bundle collection changes because the current SshProcessMonitor discovers ports/PIDs/proxy-log paths but does not tail or classify log contents. This should be implemented as a lifecycle-safe watcher/detector rather than added opportunistically to bundle collection.
