file open dialog

[dyitzchaki-roku]

In addition to the pickFile command, it would be useful to have a command to show a file open dialog, using the window.showOpenDialog API.

I actually thought that's what pickFile do on first read.

That was also requested in VSCode quiet a while ago: microsoft/vscode#71461
