Description
Forking this off from a discussion in https://github.com/bazelbuild/vscode-bazel/pull/369#discussion_r1554639007
It would lower the barrier of entry for new users if this extension would offer an option to automatically download any missing tools (bazelisk, buildifier, language server).
