gp-cli: gp rebuild

[ghuntley]

An idea for useful helper for the GP cli application.

Command line interface for Gitpod

Usage:
  gp [command]

Available Commands:
  rebuild         Restarts the current workspace and rebuilds it (ie inner loop for debugging prebuilds and gitpod.yml)

I think this speaks to the more general DX pain around having to commit / restart a new workspace to see changes applied from the gitpod.yml file. Rebuilding could be done via the CLI, as mentioned, but also via the command palette as currently with GitHub Codespaces, or some other way.

Another scenario where this may be helpful is when you're busy working on a PR branch in a workspace and want to do the following:

1. merge/rebase from main
2. re-run the build
3. continue coding/debugging in the same workspace

@loujaybee is it a dup of #6818 (comment)?
