[VSCode] Add a 'Generate Commit Message' icon button

[Sma1lboy]

Using a command to perform this action might not be very intuitive.

Maybe adding a 'Generate Commit Message' icon in the Source Control section of VSCode to provide a better UI experience for users.

The last time we checked, it wasn't possible to build such a feature with VSCode (GitHub Copilot itself used a private API to achieve this).

However, it's good to keep track of this in case the situation changes in the future (or has already changed).

I'm trying to approach this, but it seems there is no API to get the current repository directly. The only way to achieve this is by creating a new SourceControl instance ourselves. I would like to add a trick icon: when there is only one repository, it will work perfectly, but if there are multiple repositories, we will have to choose the repository for which we want to auto-generate commits.
