Extension consumes all api quota making requests for variables in GHES 3.7

Describe the bug Opening a Workspace in VSCode with the GitHub Actions extension enabled connected to a GHES 3.7 will quickly consume all the quota available because the extension performs hundreds of failing attempts to get Variables (404 not found). This is because the Variables support was introduced on GHES 3.8. Therefore, all requests to get Variables will return 404.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Log into a GitHub Enterprise server version 3.7 in VSCode
Open any workspace with workflows
Open the vscode-github-actions logs in VS Code
See several 404 errors trying to reach https://<ghes_url>/api/v3/repos/<user>/<repo>/actions/variables

Expected behavior In one of my tests, the extension made 154 attempts to get Variables just by opening the workspace. I guess it's ok to try to get it once and stop. Or try to check if the server version has Variables available before making the request.

Screenshots Here you can see one of the attempts of the log (sensitive data hidden by ***)

Extension Version v0.26.2

Additional context It looks like the request attempts are even more aggressive when using SSH, e.g. using WSL. Typing an if statement in a workflow made almost 500 requests. Tested on GHES v3.7.5.

Might be related to #192

I hope this can be easily fixed. The extension is amazing and I'd be really happy to use it at its full potential :)
