Settings Sync: Support syncing “additional resources”

[alefragnani]

Today, Settings Sync only syncs VS Code settings and UI State. Issue #113996 asks to sync workspace state, but I would like to sync other resources used/generated by extensions.

My Project Manager extension uses globalStorageUri to store a few JSON files (projects and cache). At least the �projects.json file would be useful to be synced, specially when dealing with Codespaces and Remotes.

I’m not saying the entire globalStorageUri content should be synced, but at least the possibility to add additinoal resources to the syncing process.

BTW, the original Settings Sync extension has this feature, but the resources are defined by the user, not the extension developer.

Thanks in advance
