Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to use Matlab included in a docker container, like those that can be instantiated using mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-dockerfile.
Currently, this extension expects Matlab to be installed in the host OS.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like vscode to use Matlab included in a docker container running in my system.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the extension currently locates the host Matlab installation and the linked mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-dockerfile project. Define the container connection and configuration requirements, then verify that VS Code can use Matlab from a running Docker container without requiring a host installation.
