Our changes include:
- Add a `code-server` schema.
- Make the extension sidebar work in the browser. Mostly involves removing
Node-specific code for the `extensions` channel client and adding a
`gallery` channel.
- Allow multiple extension directories (both user and built-in).
- Rewrite assets used in the CSS (like icons) or as images to use the base URL.
- Change the loader to use the base URL.
- Change the web socket to use the base URL and TLS if necessary.
- Set the favicon using a relative path.
- Modify the file service to support writing from an asynchronous stream (for
uploading files).
- Add a file prefix to ignore for temporary files created during upload.
- Insert our upload service for use in editor windows and explorer.
- Modify the log level to get its initial setting from the server.
- Get telemetry working by adding a channel for it.
- Change a regular expression used for mnemonics so it works on Firefox.
