Support VSCode version 1.61.0 or higher

[MaidenlessUsr]

Currently, I am using code-server running on a Samsung Tablet within Termux, I have noticed one of my installed extensions was not working which was Roblox LSP, I have tried many different troubleshooting from recompiling native things and asking around at the Roblox Open Source Community Discord for hours until I discovered that the issue was the VSCode version being lower than 1.61.0:

I would appreciate it if you can atleast support VSCode version 1.61.0

An hacky workaround, I had to go to the extension folder, then go to client/node_modules/vscode-languageclient/lib/node/main.js and at line 124, comment out the throw new error statement so that the extension doesn't fail to load, this made the extension work fine however this workaround can break the extension in any new updates, I would still like to see VSCode version 1.61.0 being supported atleast

FYI: The 4.0.0-prerelease is already based on 1.63.0 😉

@fritterhoff is right! This shouldn't be an issue with the next release. You can use the 4.0.0-prerelease today. Closing this
