StatusBarItem - add support for specifying a list of commands in the hover #234339

It would be nice if extensions would be able to specify a list of commands which would then be passed on to the HoverService so that they are rendered in the hover status bar.

This needs to set the related actions options when creating the hover:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/fc03f2bf3d5041009ad246efbf6973922f65728f/src/vs/workbench/browser/parts/statusbar/statusbarItem.ts#L123

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/fc03f2bf3d5041009ad246efbf6973922f65728f/src/vs/base/browser/ui/hover/hover.ts#L187

I would think this could be proposed new API for the status bar item to have an overload for tooltip:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/fc03f2bf3d5041009ad246efbf6973922f65728f/src/vscode-dts/vscode.d.ts#L7229

Something like:

tooltip: string | MarkdownString | { actions: Command[], content: string | MarkDownString } | undefined

If someone wants to contribute this, opening for help wanted 👍
