vscode uri handler now asks for signing in to another account instead…

[mkrueger]

This pull request enhances the robustness and user experience of the Cosmos DB "Open in VS Code" URI handler, especially around Azure account and subscription issues. It introduces improved error handling and user prompts when resources cannot be found due to account or subscription mismatches, and adds comprehensive tests for these scenarios. Additionally, it updates localization strings to provide clearer guidance to users.

Improvements to Azure account/subscription handling:

• Refactored revealAzureResourceInExplorer in src/vscodeUriHandler.ts to detect when a resource cannot be found due to account or subscription issues, prompting the user to sign in or select subscriptions, and retrying the reveal operation after user action. [1] [2]
• Added helper functions promptToFixAzureAccountAccess and revealAzureResourceWithAccountPrompt to encapsulate user prompting and retry logic for account/subscription issues.
• Improved error message handling in globalUriHandler to properly propagate UserCancelledError and provide more descriptive failure messages.

Localization and messaging updates:

• Updated and added several localization strings in l10n/bundle.l10n.json to clarify instructions when resources are not found due to Azure account or subscription problems, and to support new prompts for sign-in and subscription selection. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Testing improvements:

• Added a new test suite in test/vscodeUriHandler.test.ts to verify that the handler correctly prompts users and retries when encountering subscription/account issues, and that cancellation is handled as expected.

Other changes:

• Exported globalUriHandler from extension.bundle.ts to make it available for testing and integration.
• Minor import adjustment to include parseError in src/vscodeUriHandler.ts.… of showing a "subscription not found" error.

fixes #2686

I have not tested this yet, but we should not forget to add tenantId param to the Azure Portal, that's an essential part.
