Description

## Problem
Our current localization library (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-nls) is no longer receiving updates. Instead, VSCode has introduced a new package (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-l10n) which is its replacement

## Blockers
vscode-l10n requires a minimum vscode version of 1.73.0 but we currently [support 1.68.0](https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/blob/master/packages/core/package.json#L12)

Research direction

Start with packages/core/package.json, checking the supported VS Code version and the current vscode-nls dependency. Compare the requirements and migration guidance for vscode-l10n, then trace the localization usages that depend on the existing package. Done means the replacement is used and the supported VS Code range is compatible.
