Feature Request: Add Support for Custom Tab Colors

[AdhTri001]

I'd like to request a feature that allows users to assign custom colors to editor tabs in Visual Studio Code. This could be implemented via a right-click context menu on the tab, where the user can choose from a set of colors or use a color picker. I can have following use cases:

• Marking Implementation Status: For example, marking tabs green for completed files, yellow for in-progress work, and red for files with issues or needing review.

• Different colors could represent different tasks or priorities, e.g., blue for styling files, orange for logic-heavy files.

• In larger projects, it helps users quickly reorient themselves by visually distinguishing which tabs belong to different workflows or features.

• This could be really helpful for C/C++ Programmers who split their code into header files and implementation details in c/cpp files.

There is this extension which does that: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mondersky.tabscolor but it has some issues, like vs code popping the message that vs code got corrupted :(

What should happen if you restart vs code?🤔
