Support File History UI

Something similar to what GitLens does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRdQw4-sGIY

We already have a File History command, so this issue is about supporting a GUI

How do you feel about the GUI for this being the Timeline view (#77) instead of being driven by the command palette?

[hdpoliveira]

I think you are right. The timeline view is better than a custom GUI.

Are you working on #77?

Makes sense to me to use timeline. Command palette always felt like a hack.

Closing in favor of #77

Are you working on #77?

I started on it awhile back, but moved on to other stuff because it's not clear to me if we can ship an extension that uses the Timeline API since it isn't finalized yet. If you want to take it, go for it. I did maybe 20 minutes of work that probably isn't worth reviving since the repo has changed so much.
