Currently, the webview _always_ opens next to the currently active editor. This is a pain if you already have 2 columns open since this means that the webview will open in a third column, which is rarely what you want. This change uses a more sophisticated approach to opening the webview: 1. If there is only one column, open webview to the right of it 2. If there are multiple columns and the active editor is _not_ the last column, open to the right of the active editor 3. Otherwise open in the first column. This will avoid opening a new column unless there is only one column open right now. There is no native API that vscode exposed to compare column locations, so this uses the `ViewColumn` api is a slightly non-standard way. A limitation is that if the last column is empty and the active editor is to the left of it, then the webview will not be opened there (which would be nice). Instead, it will be opened in column 1.
