    (#15638)

Code Health

1. Add support for "Trusted Workspaces".

   "Trusted Workspaces" is an upcoming feature in VS Code. (See:
   microsoft/vscode#106488.) For now you need
   the following for the experience:

   • the latest VS Code Insiders
   • add "workspace.trustEnabled": true to your user settings.json

   At that point, when the Python extension would normally activate, VS Code
   will prompt you about whether or not the current workspace is trusted.
   If not then the extension will be disabled (but only for that workspace).
   As soon as the workspace is marked as trusted, the extension will
   activate.
   (#15525)

   (#15567)
