3695: vscode: simplify and refactor config r=matklad a=Veetaha
Removed unnecessary interfaces, changed `cfg` to be a getter to ensure the fresh values any time possible.
Migrated from explicit casts to implicit.

This cancel is unnecessary since we cancel the previous inlay hints requests in `fetchHints()` method itself. This is not a hard error, we just called cancel() 2 times.
Everything now happens in main.ts, in the bootstrap family of
functions. The current flow is:
* check everything only on extension installation.
* if the user is on nightly channel, try to download the nightly
extension and reload.
* when we install nightly extension, we persist its release id, so
that we can check if the current release is different.
* if server binary was not downloaded by the current version of the
extension, redownload it (we persist the version of ext that
downloaded the server).
3534: Feature: vscode impl nightlies download and installation r=Veetaha a=Veetaha
I need to test things more, but the core shape of the code is quite well-formed.
The main problem is that we save the release date only for nightlies and there are no means to get the release date of the stable extension (i.e. for this we would need to consult the github releases via a network request, or we would need to somehow save this info into package.json or any other file accessible from the extension code during the deployment step, but this will be very hard I guess).
So there is an invariant that the users can install nightly only from our extension and they can't do it manually, because when installing the nightly `.vsix` we actually save its release date to `globalState`
Closes: #3402
TODO:
- [x] More manual tests and documentation
