Description
### Brief Issue Summary
Internally the cmake.selectActiveFolder command can receive the following parameter types:
- CMakeProject - unfortunately the CMake Tools API only allows me to get a Project, not a CMakeProject instance, so I cannot use the API to distinguish between multiple projects with the same name.
- the parameter can also be a list of strings, but these are the workspace folder names so it cannot differentiate between multiple folders with the same name.
### Additional Information
Cmake Tools version v1.16.32
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the cmake.selectActiveFolder command and how it handles CMakeProject versus Project parameters. Read the CMake Tools API behavior for projects and the workspace-folder-name list; done should mean the command can distinguish and select among multiple folders with the same name.
