Enable OS notifications for vscode commands that use sf/sfdx cli commands

[AllanOricil]

This feature would need to be implemented after this one

Why?

Vscode notifications are bound to vscode client only, according to their docs.

Value

Improves UX for developers that work with multiple vscode instances, which might be hidden while executing a synchronous sf command. For example:

• developer can start a synchronous bulk upload job using a huge file
• developer can start a synchronous metadata validate/deploy job

When a synch command finishes, a vscode, or OS, notification would notify the User his job is done.

How?

I believe that if these vscode commands are just calling sfdx commands in the background, it will be just a matter of setting up an env variable called SF_NOTIFY to true in order to ask the cli to notify its caller. This env variable can be set based on a vscode extension setting using contributes.configuration. But of course you would need to have the notification system implemented in the cli.

Thanks for the feature request @AllanOricil ! We'll work with the CLI team internally to investigate.
