[Feature Request] Allow openvscode-server to specify URL path prefix

[BorisPolonsky]

For running on a k8s cluster with multiple users, we would like to route traffic to each openvscode-server with different subpath, e.g. https://my-website.com/user-123/vscode/ . We would like to request something like this: openvscode-server --base-url=http://my-website.com/user-123/vscode/.

This is possible since version 1.97.2 : https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/releases/tag/openvscode-server-v1.97.2

With this feature it is now possible to integrate OpenVSCode-Server (as an extension of jupyter-server-proxy so that it can be started from the launcher within JupyterLab:

Tested with --server-base-path option and worked as expected.
