Extension star ratings: show reviewer count in the tooltip. #39337

Description

@BobWalsh

One very small fix would solve a significant problem with extensions: a 5 star rating can be such because 1 developer rated that extension or dozens of developers have given that rating, and there's no way to tell the difference.

If the star rating had a tooltip with a count of how many developers rated the extension, it would be a step in making it easier to find good extensions. Drilling down to the source Marketplace page gets old fast for each extension, especially for new VS Code adopters.

Example:
extension vscode-ruby-ctags vs code mac test project 2017-11-29 13-01-59
