Vscode-remote-release: Support ssh to IBM i

[worksofliam]

• VSCode Version: Insiders 1.35.0
• Local OS Version: macOS Mojave 10.14.5
• Remote OS Version: IBM i 7.3
• Remote Extension/Connection Type: SSH

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Connect to remote system
2. Remote system is IBM i

Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: Yes
Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: Yes

The system is not unreachable. I am using SSH FS anyway, but was hoping to utilise this to make use of the git client working on the remote server.

Possibly related to #19

I don't think this is related to #19. As the error notes, only Linux x86_64 ssh hosts are supported at the moment

I've marked this as a feature request to support connecting to IBM i machines

[lars18th]

It will be desirable to support _any_ POSIX SSH server in _any_ platform/architecture.

For example, in my daily use of VSCode Remote SSH (in testing at time) I compile manually with make, and I debug with gdbserver :<IP-PORT> ./my-program_g .... So, the requirments to use this great extension could be reduced to:

SERVER REQUIREMENTS:

• POSIX environment
• SSH server
• BASH shell
• GCC compiler
• MAKE tool
• GDB debugger

I hope someday this will be true. :wine_glass:

Can anybody identify where the source code for this would be? I'd love to help make this happen and can send a PR, but unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding the correct repository to even begin looking at this. Any insight is appreciated.
