Description

There's a collapse all button.

Adding "Expand All" to the main "References: Results" would require us to replace VS Code's tree view container for the Confirmed References.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing Collapse All action and the References: Results and Confirmed References tree views. Check how the current tree view container limits adding Expand All; done means an Expand All action is available for the requested references views without breaking the existing collapse behavior.
