Remote SSH Extension - Disable File(s) Download from server option

This has been requested twice: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7106 and https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7534.

We need an option to disable this:

We need to be able to view the files from within VSCode but not allow their download. This is useful in a variety of cases for data protection. Copy-paste of text/code is always possible, but in many cases the files accessible via SSH aren't limited to text (see my screenshot) and for those the only option to "copy" is download.

Quoting this comment from a previous raising of this issue:

Removing this option does not eliminate code leaks but makes it much more time consuming, difficult and it adds some protection to leaking code bases or ML algorithms in our case, allows us to work more remotely securely / onboard ad-hoc developers that may not have company restricted laptops and it avoids easily allowing them to copy entire code bases locally.

Therefore, this is the third time this feature request is made but due to the time limit of 60 days it always gets closed before it collects the required number of upvotes (see here and here):

🙁 In the last 60 days, this feature request has received less than 10 community upvotes and we closed it. Still a big Thank You to you for taking the time to create this issue! To learn more about how we handle feature requests, please see our documentation.

Can we please raise attention as this is an important feature for many workflows? Also considering that it was raised twice already before this issue.
