Provide a new API that returns globalStorageUri, respecting the active Profile

[alefragnani]

I've noticed that ExtensionContext.globalStorageUri always returns the same Default Profile location (~/Library/Application Support/Code - Insiders/User in MacOS), no matter which Profile is currently active.

My Project Manager extension stores its projects and some cache files inside that folder, and with the new Profiles feature, I tried to have different projects / caches for each profile, with no success. This happens because ExtensionContext.globalStorageUri does not respect the active profile.

I don't think that updating ExtensionContext.globalStorageUri to respect the active Profile is the answer, because What If I want to share the same projects between all Profiles instead?

On the other hand, I think that it would require a new API, to provide the globalStorageUri, with a parameter to respect or not the active Profile.

Thanks in advance
