refactor(diff): Don't create temporary files

This reverts most of #123 and
instead takes a different approach to resolving
#94

Use the Git integration for Visual Studio Code (an extension that is
bundled with VSCode and neither be disabled or uninstalled, thus can be
effectively considered part of VSCode) to read files directly off of
Git.

-- **settings:** add config to toggle excluding temporary files created by the extension, e.g. those used to produce the diff of a patch's changed files, from the list of recently opened files. This is enabled by default. This currently works only partly, but should automatically be fully working when [the underlying VS Code bug](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/157395#issuecomment-2080293320) is fixed. ([#94](https://github.com/cytechmobile/radicle-vscode-extension/issues/94))

 Use custom wrapper `askUser()` instead of the native [InputBox API](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#InputBox) which would result in procedural, verbose and brittle client code.
