Automate GDK bootstrapping using VSCode's task
What does this merge request do and why?
This MR configures support/gitlab-remote-development/setup_workspace.rb to run as a VSCode's task in Remote Development workspace. Whenever a folder is opened, it starts the Bootstrap GDK task. If GDK has already been bootstrapped, the bootstrap process will be skipped. See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks for more details.
