[Feature Request] Add inline git blame annotations #205424

Description

@deadmeu

One of the first things I (and I presume many other developers) do when installing a new text editor or IDE is to enable inline git blame annotations (either natively, if the editor supports it, or via an extension).

Inline git blame annotations make it extremely easy to see when a particular line was last modified without requiring the user to perform clicks in order to get that information.

Additionally, the user should be able to interact with this annotation by hovering the cursor over the text, in order to quickly get a more detailed view of the commit.

I think it makes sense to include this feature as a native feature within VS Code, rather than relying on third-party extensions, as VS Code already includes native git tooling and this highly popular feature builds upon existing features to provide a great QOL improvement and make it easier for developers (both new and old) to work with git.
