Description
Problem to solve
Back in https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/pull/9003, we added support to connect to a workspace via a single SSH command. Cc @iQQBot @akosyakov @loujaybee
Proposal
While it's certainly useful to be able to access this command from the workspaces list in the dashboard and the workspace start page when triggering a desktop editor, it could be useful to also have a command palette action in the VS Code (Browser) editor that triggers VS Code notification to copy to clipboard the single SSH command, in a similar way sharing a running workspace or a workspace snapshot.

Research direction
Read the existing SSH connection flow from PR 9003 and the workspace sharing and snapshot command-palette actions. Verify in the VS Code (Browser) editor that the new action opens a notification and copies the single SSH command to the clipboard.
