Description
It would be nice if I could right click on a container in the docker extension and have an option to create/edit the container configuration file before then attaching vscode to the container.
At present, I think I need to attach, edit the configuration file, then reattach to use the configuration.
I had an issue where I changed the underlying container such that the existing container configuration file became invalid and attaching failed, but because I wasn't attached I couldn't edit the configuration file to fix it! I ended up hunting down the config file manually to edit it.

Research direction
Start from the Docker extension's container context-menu actions and the existing attach flow. Add an option to create or edit the container configuration before attaching, and verify that a configuration can be corrected and then used for a subsequent attach.
