Disable VS Code extension auto-restore by default

[adamint]

Description

Changes the default value of the aspire.enableAutoRestore VS Code extension setting from true to false. The extension will no longer automatically run aspire restore when the workspace opens or when aspire.config.json changes. Users who want this behavior can opt in via the setting.

Fixes #16338

Pull request overview

This PR changes the Aspire VS Code extension’s default behavior so it no longer automatically runs aspire restore on workspace open or when aspire.config.json changes, requiring users to explicitly opt in via the aspire.enableAutoRestore setting. This aligns the runtime default in code with the contributed configuration default, and mitigates restore/locked-file conflicts like those reported in #16338.

Changes:

• Flip the default fallback value for getEnableAutoRestore() from true to false.
• Update the VS Code contributed setting aspire.enableAutoRestore default from true to false.
