Four new tools for your Visual Studio Code and GitLab tool belt

What this post added

This post introduces several new features and improvements to the GitLab Workflow VS Code extension: 1. Snippet patches: A new way to suggest arbitrary-sized code changes in MR reviews, implemented using `git diff` and `git apply`. 2. Improved CI status display: Enhanced reliability and readability of CI pipeline status, including individual job status in the sidebar and synchronization with the current branch. 3. Checkout MR Branch: Allows users to checkout an MR branch locally for interactive review and execution. 4. Open a local file during a review: Enables opening local files corresponding to changed files in an MR for easier exploration of surrounding code. 5. Remote Repositories: A new feature to browse large repositories without checking them out locally, implemented using `git diff` and `git apply` for patch creation and application, and Git commands for checkout and remote browsing.
