Allow specifying version for recommended extensions

[KholdStare]

The recommendations field in extensions.json (and the equivalent in multi-root workspaces) should allow optionally specifying exact versions of extensions to install. Sometimes newer versions may break, change behavior, or need different configuration than before, and it would be great to pin certain extension versions.

Something like

{
  "recommendations": ["dbaeumer.vscode-eslint==1.2.0", "esbenp.prettier-vscode==3.4.5"]
}

The exact syntax doesn't matter.
