Vscode: Consider improving the allow/disallow automatic task actions
With https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/64613 we introduced simple allow/disallow actions that mimic what we do for terminal shell configuration. This approach as several disadvantages:
- the actions show up on empty windows (no open folder)
- it's unclear what the current state is
- user doesn't see the tasks that are (supposed to be) running automatically
A more sophisticated QuickPick based UI could provide the user with this information.

IMHO, this should be a Setting so that it's discoverable from the Settings Search UI or by looking at the settings JSON files. I just wasted half an hour trying to find this configuration option because it was a command instead of a Setting! See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58866184/
