Vscode-remote-release: pem file support

[MeTaNoV]

Hi,
at my company, we are usually using pem file to connect to our instances like:

ssh -i '/path/to/file.pem' ubuntu@hostname

I didn't find any way to configure remote-ssh to use those files.

You can specify a .pem file to use in your .ssh/config:

Host whatever
    IdentityFile /path/to/file.pem

Read more about SSH config files: https://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config

Host remote-vscode
HostName
User ec2-user
IdentityFile d:/PATH/TO/FILE.pem

In the sample here in the main article: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh#_remembering-hosts-you-connect-to-frequently
Tips and tricks here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/troubleshooting#_improving-your-security-with-a-dedicated-key
