[Feature Request]: Allow setting hostname for the extension when running code-server in docker environment and / or with tailscale (VSC-1490)

[csvke]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When running ESP-IDF VS Code extension installed in a Code-Server instance on a host machine, clinking Configure ESP-IDF Extension returns a blank page when visit by a browser in a client. Seems to me the extension is trying to load the page in localhost, which makes sense if the extension is installed locally on a machine, but it will not work if VS Code is accessed through a browser remotely with Code Server. Using code-server --host x.x.x.x will not work in this case as that parameter aren't passed through to the code executed in individual VS Code extensions.

Describe the solution you'd like I suspect if the ESP-IDF VS Code extension can define it's hostname instead of localhost, Configure ESP-IDF Extension can be loaded because Code-Server will automatically configure auto forwarding with proxy. The goal is to have a host machine like a Raspberry Pi to connect to a ESP32 and start to program and debug with it via a web browser.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. Tried to look into package.json but only OpenOCD Server can have a customised hostname.

When you open the ESP-IDF: Configure ESP-IDF extension, could you open the Command Palette (F1) and find the Webview: Open Webview Developer Tools and check if there is any error in the console output.
