User confusion about 'Extension Host not responsive' notification

[egamma]

We have received many crippled issues like #60297 #60293 #60292.

This is triggered by https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_28#_extension-host-unresponsive.

Here is how users create these issues:

• user sees the Extension Host not responding notification
• user clicks the Show Running extensions from the notification
• user clicks the Report Issue button (we show many of them) for one or more of these extensions
• the action copies some timing information to the clipboard, often users forget to paste the clipboard contents when creating the issue.

The notification was a great way to become aware that some extensions keep the extension host busy. However, as is, the notification is not helpful for the general user and it motivates the creation of unhelpful issues. We need to remove the notification until we have a better flow.

As I'm not debugging the extensions and when dealing with large files (~10k lines) this message keeps popping up and is really annoying as the extensions are taking some time to process the file, this looks normal as the file is very large.

It would be useful to have an option to toggle profiling and/or this extension host message.

@madcampos the plan is that we can toggle profiling when an extension is not responsive for a period of time.

@alexandrudima Is there a new ticket already?
