Description
Hey there,
I would really appreciate an option true/false that decides if the container should be fired up whenever there is a devcontainer.json in the folder.
Alternatively an "Allways" button on the "Reopen folder in a container" dialog which pops up if the folder contains a container definition.
Thanks in advance and thanks for your awesome work.

Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named. Start with the “Reopen folder in a container” dialog and the handling of devcontainer.json, then determine how the requested persistent autostart or “Always” choice should behave; done means the selected behavior works when a container definition is present.
