Description

## What is your suggestion?

Add something that can be used directly from the code-server UI to inspect the process tree under the remote `code-server` process. Ideally literally "Developer: Open Process Explorer" from VS code.

## Why do you want this feature?

Helpful to understand where memory is going - both from the angle of diagnosing processes spawned in extensions and taking stock of various user-spawned processes.

## Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?

Sort of - you can manually figure out the same type of information from the OS.

## Are you interested in submitting a PR for this?

Yes, but would need some pointers. If this just isn't possible, that's OK and fine to close this issue 😄
