Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
One of the things I forget to do when working with Storage, Queues, and Tables is starting the emulator. Most of the time I have to wait for the connection in the Storage Account > Emulator - Default Ports - Queues or Blobs to timeout before I realize that I did not start the emulator.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like that if I am in the "Local & Attached\Storage Accounts" tree of the Explorer and the Explorer can not connect to the local emulator to either prompt me to start it, or better yet start it for me.
Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction
Start by tracing how the Explorer connects to the local emulator from the “Local & Attached\Storage Accounts” tree. Determine whether the connection failure can identify an unstarted Azurite instance and whether the intended behavior is to prompt the user or start it automatically. Done means the Explorer handles an unavailable local emulator with one of those flows for the relevant storage services.
