Description
The extension doesn't clear the editor diagnostics for a specific file when the file is closed, and diagnostics are persisted until the entire editor is closed, or the window reloaded.
For false-positives/non-issues like the one reported in #375, that means that whenever I open a workflow/action `.yml` file, the "Problems" pane is populated with non-actionable diagnostics, and I have no way to clear it unless I close the `.yml` file and reload the editor or the extension host.
**Expected behavior**:
The extension clears all diagnostics related to a file when it is closed, and only display diagnostics for actively opened files.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how the extension creates and updates diagnostics for opened workflow/action .yml files, then reproduce the issue by opening and closing one. Done means diagnostics for a closed file are cleared while diagnostics for actively opened files remain visible.
