There should be an "Execute Query" run button in SQL editor toolbar

• MSSQL Extension Version: 1.7

It would be better if there were "Run" and "Stop" buttons in the SQL editor toolbar for starting and canceling query execution. For example, see how the Python extension uses a toolbar in .ipynb notebook files.

This can't make the 1.8 milestone since VS Code doesn't give the ability to add your own commands with icons in the editor - microsoft/vscode#41309

@abist it looks like the Python extension is able to do this with .py files as show below. They don't appear to be using a custom editor in this case, so I would suspect we can do the same for .sql files?

@kburtram I was able to confirm and add it to the extension in my testing internally. This should be easily doable.
