Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Previous versions of the DevSkim VS Code Extension had a palette command to trigger a scan of all files in the workspace. This was removed with 1.0 due to the new Language Server mechanism, which meant we weren't directly dealing with file paths on disk anymore. We've received some user feedback #555 that this feature should be brought back.
Describe the solution you'd like
Reimplement the Scan All Files in Workspace command
