Optionally Run Language Servers/Extensions using Windows Subsystem for Linux #22663

Description

@joewood

Similar to the request for #20220 but more general. Running the Windows version of Code from bash on Windows using WSL works really well. The problem with the set-up is that the language server and extension environment in code is using the Windows environment, but the terminal is using the WSL environment. These are essentially two different operating systems, different executables installed and configured.

It would be better to be able to configure VSCode on Windows to fork all processes using WSL (bash) rather than the native Windows command shell. This applies to language servers and other extensions.
