Why is Azure IoT Toolkit `*` activated? #564

Describe the bug

👋 from the VS Code team. We noticed that this extension is * activated.

When you are * activated, you compete with vscode for start up time and as a result, you hurt vscode's startup time in the process.

It's better to be reactive and only activate when the user interacts with your extension:

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a blank VS Code window
  2. install Azure IoT Toolkit
  3. reload the window
  4. Azure IoT Toolkit is activated

Expected behavior It shouldn't activate until needed.
