Remote connection never starts any login or interactive shells, so it's impossible to update environment variables (for instance, so code server has correct PATH and DOTNET_ROOT)

• VSCode Version: 1.66.2
• Local OS Version: 10.0.19044 Build 19044
• Remote OS Version: Slackware 14.2+ (linux kernel 5.10.28)
• Remote Extension/Connection Type: SSH
• Logs: https://pastebin.com/J6wr7vXB

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Setup an SSH remote.
2. Connect to your remote without code server already running
3. Logs show the extensions invokes ssh as such: ssh -T -D 1472 HOSTNAME bash, which runs bash as a non-login, non-interactive shell. This prevents any startup files from being sourced. (Some versions of bash are supposed to be able to 'detect' ssh and turn on a login shell automatically, but this behaviour can't be relied on, and doesn't seem to happen in my environment)

This extension should run bash as bash --login to enable the appropriate environments, or allow for some sort of custom configuration to setup the dotnet environment.

Thanks for filing. I believe this is a duplicate of #1671? If so, we can close this issue and track there.

Sounds good, I searched the issue but somehow missed the 2nd page of results.
