Request: option to automatically start background updates installation

[yzhang-gh]

With #41676, vscode can update in background (on Windows). It is pretty nice!
(I already set update.enableWindowsBackgroundUpdates to true)

The problem is that we need more "click" operations now.

1. start vscode, it will automatically check updates and download
2. find a 1 on the gear icon
3. click the gear icon
4. click install update
5. wait for several seconds
6. click the gear icon
7. click restart now

It will be better to have an option to skip the first install update confirmation. So vscode can automatically start background updates and only notify user when everything is done.

The problem with this is that there would be an admin prompt coming out of nothing. We don't want to do this. We're pushing towards having user installable packages. That way we can do the update automatically without asking for permissions.
