After port forwarding allow to open the brower with https://

[morganpizzini]

When running VSCode in container I can choose to automatically open the browser by setting the code below inside devcontainer.json

"portsAttributes": {
   "5001": {
	"label": "API port",
	"onAutoForward": "openBrowser"
   }
}

This will correctly open the browser at the address http://localhost:5001 when this port is forwarded, but my application runs on httpS://localhost:5001 and so far I manually add the S.

A possible improvement could be add a parameter

"portsAttributes": {
   "5001": {
	"label": "API port",
	"onAutoForward": "openBrowser",
        "browserUrlSsl": true
   }
}

@cmbrose, since we were just talking about this, FYI: looks like we have a feature request for http vs. https with Remote Containers!

I will optimistically add this to our May iteration and we'll see if I can get it done by then.
