A VS Code Session represents a process of VS Code that holds onto dotnet installs that are in use. This allows us to not uninstall dotnet components that are important to other vscode instances / processes. Before, we weren't aware of the 'deactivate' hook that is https://code.visualstudio.com/api/get-started/extension-anatomy called automatically as part of the extension pattern. Now, we should leverage that pattern to clean up our own session and other potentially existing sessions.
