Allow users to specify default devbox.json to load in VSCODE #2348

What problem are you trying to solve?

For my team we have multiple repository that contain code that needs to be able to be debugged in the same "shell env". To this end we have setup the desired environment in a seperate repository. We would like the VSCODE extension to be able to specify a default devbox.json file to open, as fallback for when there is not a more specific devbox.json in the repository. Would this be possible?

What solution would you like?

Add an option for default devbox.json file specification in extension config params:

Alternatives you've considered

Allow users to give command line params to the devbox shell command being called from the visual studio code extension (like --config).

Have you considered devbox global for this? https://www.jetify.com/docs/devbox/cli_reference/devbox_global/

I would also love this option, so that i can open a specific devbox shell from another repo.
