Attempts of SQLTools to install npm and node cause trouble

[martin2384798]

Describe the bug
I tried SQLite in SQLtools and found it needs npm and node installed, and keep trying to install them. I don't want to install them so I decided not to use SQLite in SQLtools. However, even if I remove SQLTools SQLite Driver extension or reinstall SQLTools, it just keep trying to install npm and node.
How can I get rid of these?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install SQLTools and SQLite Driver
2. Try to connect to some SQLite database without installing npm and node:
3. The connection won't be successful, but the attempt to make it work would continue...

Expected behavior
Get rid of attempts of SQLTools to install npm and node if one decided not to use SQLite in SQLTools.

l tried multiple times but it won't have effect after reload VSCode window or restart VSCode. Also tried changing "sqltools.disableNodeDetectNotifications":true, didn't do any good either. It seems only to disappear after a system reboot.
