New command: verify-pat

[felipecrs]

Or something like that. Since apparently there is no public API in the VSCode Marketplace for that purpose, it would be handy to have a command which could verify if the PAT is actually usable.

I need this for validating the token as a verification step in the semantic-release-vsce plugin.

I like that. Wanna PR it?

We already have code which tests a PAT:

vscode-vsce/src/store.ts

Lines 59 to 64 in 3ef8985

	// If the caller of the `getRoleAssignments` API has any of the roles
	// (Creator, Owner, Contributor, Reader) on the publisher, we get a 200,
	// otherwise we get a 403.
	const api = await getSecurityRolesAPI(pat);
	await api.getRoleAssignments('gallery.publisher', publisherName);

Amazing!

Wanna PR it?

Yes, please!
