remotePlatform notification is sometimes shown unnecessarily #9958

Expected Behavior

We configure remote platform using wildcard syntax in user settings to prevent the prompt on each connection. It works nicely, but on Windows a user still sees a following notification in the remote window:

You selected "linux" as the remote platform - this will be stored in the setting "remote.SSH.remotePlatform" and can be changed there if needed.

Although a user is not prompted anymore.

I see although we use wildcards the machine gets added explicitly to the settings. It is not very nice because user settings keep growing. It only manifests on Windows, I don't observe the same on Mac. And only via Remote SSH, if it is devcontainer over SSH then there is only annoying notification, settings are not updated.

On Windows, remote.SSH.useLocalServer is implicitly false. You can set it to true in settings.json to prevent this.
