Description

**Feature request: Confirmation dialog for destructive EC2 actions in Explorer panel**

The reboot button sits directly next to the connect button with no confirmation prompt. A misclick on a production instance reboots it immediately with no warning.

Please add a confirmation dialog before executing reboot/stop/terminate from the Explorer panel. The AWS Console already does this, the Toolkit should too.

AWS Toolkit version: 3.101.0
VS Code version: 1.114.0
OS: Mac OS 26.4 (25E246)

Research direction

Start at the Explorer panel and trace the reboot, stop, and terminate actions to their handlers, then look for existing VS Code confirmation-dialog patterns in the project. Done means each destructive EC2 action shows a warning and requires confirmation before execution, while connect remains unaffected.
