GitLens dates use system locale instead of vscode language setting

[ImRodry]

• GitLens Version: 12.0.0
• Git Version: 2.35.1.windows.2

• VSCode Version: 1.64.2 f80445acd5a3dadef24aa209168452a3d97cc326 x64
• OS Version: Windows 11 version 21H1 OS build 22000.527

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set your system date locale to something different from your vscode language. On Windows you can do this by going to the Control Panel - Clock and Region - Region - Format and pick a country from the ones in the dropdown
2. Enable a setting that shows when something happened (using the $ago variable). I'll be using "Current line blame" for this example
3. Go to a line of code in your git project and observe the language the $ago variable is using:

The same problem. It should be caused by the use of moment.js after the update. It is recommended to add a configuration item to set the moment locale in the settings or read the language configuration of vscode.

I'm adding a new gitlens.defaultLocale setting to control this and it will be in the insiders version shortly.
@ImRodry I'm not aware of a VS Code language -- what setting controls that?

@eamodio VS Code lets you pick the locale through a command. You can read more about that here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/locales

Ugh, I knew that too -- sorry :( Will look to add an option to follow that too.

@eamodio instead of a new option you can just default that option you added to the current vscode locale IMO

The new default will be to follow vscode, but you can also use either "system" to follow the system or pick a specific locale.
