Description
I have a use case where I am frequently starting new fresh VMs which I would like to remote SSH into using this plugin. However to prevent having to reload extensions frequently I put the .vscode-server folder into a common drive. It would be nice to specify a default server path for each new instance, similar to "Remote.SSH: Server Install Path".

Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing "Remote.SSH: Server Install Path" setting and the code that initializes a new SSH server instance. Done means a configurable default path is applied to new instances without requiring extension reloads, with coverage for the setting behavior.
