Description
I do not have Docker configured to start on machine boot, which means that I constantly hit the error message about "Make sure the Docker daemon is running". This adds friction to using local containers which is not present elsewhere in VS Code, e.g. we help users boot a codespace before they connect to an existing codespace, and we help users start a Jupyter kernel without requiring that one is already running.
I'd like the Dev Containers extension to start the Docker daemon for me when I first try to create a dev container, so that I don't have to manage Docker desktop all the time in order to use it in VS Code. I think this should be possible based on the docs but please correct me if I miss something here.
