Add unpause option for paused containers

[Zhibo Lin (LE0-Lin)]

Fixes #128

This adds an Unpause action that is shown only for paused containers. Paused containers are also removed from the Start action so the extension no longer sends a start command that Docker rejects with a 409.

The shared container client now supports container unpause for Docker-compatible runtimes. Wslc explicitly reports the command as unsupported because it has no pause/unpause subcommands.

Tests:

• pnpm --filter @microsoft/vscode-container-client test (243 passing)
• pnpm --filter vscode-containers test (158 passing)
• Docker integration test for running -> paused -> unpaused -> running (1 passing)
• pnpm --filter @microsoft/vscode-container-client lint
• pnpm --filter vscode-containers lint
• pnpm build

Pull request overview

Adds an Unpause action for paused containers and prevents the extension from attempting to Start paused containers (which Docker rejects with HTTP 409), by wiring an unpauseContainers command through the shared container client and surfacing it in the Containers view.

Changes:

• Add unpauseContainers support to @microsoft/vscode-container-client (Docker-compatible clients), with explicit CommandNotSupportedError behavior for wslc.
• Add a new vscode-containers.containers.unpause command and show it only for paused containers; remove paused containers from the Start action.
• Add unit/integration coverage for unpause, including an E2E pause→unpause flow (skipped for wslc).

Hi Brandon Waterloo [MSFT] (@bwateratmsft) — I’ve rebased this PR onto the current main; the patch itself is unchanged. I reran the relevant checks locally:

• lint and build for @microsoft/vscode-container-client and vscode-containers
• pnpm --filter @microsoft/vscode-container-client test (256 passing)
• pnpm --filter vscode-containers test (192 passing on VS Code 1.138.0)

The new fork workflow is awaiting maintainer approval. When you have a chance, could you approve it and take another look at the PR? Thanks!
