[#1922] Suggest restarting when LIGO path is changed
Motivation and Context
When LIGO path changes in settings, LSP does not account for that until VSCode is restarted.
This MR fixes it via adding a suggestion to reload VSCode when LIGO path is changed. There are other possible options, see commits descriptions for my thoughts and motivation.
As a separate MR we will have to care about making restarting uniform. Currently, all the functions in updateLigo.ts
, and RestartServer
command assume that for restart it is sufficient to do languageClient.stop(); languageClient.start()
, and now we know it is not sufficient. Whenever we do the restart, we should make sure that it grabs the new path to LIGO.

I see ExTester tests failed. This is an incredibly finicky tool that is painful to set up and maintain but it's the only alternative to test the UI. If you need help with it, let me know.
First of all, retry those jobs. I don't think it will help, but sometimes it does.
If that doesn't work, I suggest running those tests locally and seeing if any unexpected UI elements pop up. Check if the tests try to change some configuration or something. If so, you might need to adapt the tests to press "Do nothing"/"Cancel".
