Description

Problem to solve

When users are stopping a workspace, they are seeing a) a reference to the new friendly workspace name (ID) like
ivory-parrot-qknm55sf and b) the context URL like a link to the Pull Request.

This could still be improved by following the changes in https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/3594 and adding some semantic structure like referencing a pull request number, etc.

Start by locating the dashboard stopping screen and review the changes requested in issue 3594, along with the linked community discussion. Done means the screen provides more semantic context than the friendly workspace name and raw context URL, including details such as a pull request number.
