Vscode: Merge include/exclude search pattern inputs

We should combine the include/exclude inputs in the search view. It's a waste of vertical space and I doubt that people use them heavily enough to justify two separate inputs. This also would match other editors.

Terrible idea. Please revert.

Do we still even need the ... menu?

How am I supposed to search for exclusive data types while ignoring certain folders?

e.g.

include: .js
exclude: /someFolderWithUnrelatedFiles/

I don't understand the problem, please open a new issue with more details.

I doubt that people use them heavily enough to justify two separate inputs. That statement is rather unjustified on its own.
The idea for the merged field is nice - but might as well be considered poor UI/ UX. 20-30 extra pixels doesn't do much.
If this is necessary, then I/we would like to have the option to use either 2 inputs or just 1 input field.

Reasons why are explained in this issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/46315

Terrible idea. Please revert.
