Allow Extension versions

[opsec-infosec]

Please allow the ability to add versions for extensions. This helps with maintaining old versions of code as specific versions of extensions are required for maintaining old software. We strictly use devcontainers and as such its very annoying to have to roll back every single extension to a specific version.

As suggested by the community something like:

{
    "recommendations": [
        "ms-python.python", //latest
        "ms-python.python@2022.0.0", //with version suffix
        {
            // as dictionary
            "id": "ms-python.python",
            "version": "2022.0.0"
        }
    ]
}

Please don't tell the vs code community its out of scope, every single piece of software development allows for specific versions to be installed (npm, docker, linux with apt.... etc) and we see no difference for extensions.
