Make Remote SSH Positron Clients visually distinct by default #4723

Continuing on from some of the thinking of #974, when Positron desktop launches a new session using the Remote Explorer via SSH to a remote host, it would be nice if we could make the new Window representing the remote workspace slightly different so it is more obvious which window is the parent/local session and which is the remote session.

While there is a tiny hint in the bottom left corner, we could do better. Whether that's a combination of Activity Bar color, status bar or some other treatment, I leave that up for discussion with UX.

Jonathan mentioned one thing a user can do now is change the theme settings just for the remote ssh or workspace level so that it is distinct from the parent client / user level settings.
