VS Code requires git ssh keys to be named as "id_rsa"

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a ssh-key for github with filename something other than id_rsa (ex: github_key_id_rsa)
2. Try to push to the remote github repository

VS Code's git push fails with error messages:

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
git fetch
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Push to repo on the command line with git push works. If I rename the key to id_rsa then the push operations work fine

This issue is still very much alive. Why was this closed?

My security preference for SSH configurations is to use a different key for each service. One master key isn't very secure, so setting the key filename to a settings variable seems more logical.

@tr0yspradling It's a duplicate of #13680
