Description

As other extensions are starting to support Dev Containers it would be helpful to have a way for them to disable the "reopen in container" parts of the Dev Containers UI while keeping the devcontainer.json editing support.

This could be done using a machine-scoped setting, e.g., for the case where Remote-SSH is used to connect to a dev container that was created using the Dev Container CLI.

Another option would be to use a marker inside the container, that might be more automatic than a machine-scope setting that has to be placed.
