add option for `user-select: none`-ish on TreeItem of TreeView for Custom Extension

[alzafacon]

Some TreeItems are meant to be informational, not interactive. An information TreeItem that can be clicked on or has a highlight on hover is confusing to users that might expect something to happen.

Maybe there is a non-tree DataProvider I am not aware of 🤷.
For example I have data I would like to display in the sidebar of my custom extension. I use a custom TreeView with informational TreeItems like this:

Users get confused when they hover over a TreeItem an it is highlighted

Or when they click on a spacing TreeItem

It could be helpful to add a property to TreeItem that disables the hover and clicking.

Folks who care about this: can you use the tree view message to accomplish what you need?

vscode/src/vscode-dts/vscode.d.ts

Lines 11774 to 11778 in fc52d27

	/**
	* An optional human-readable message that will be rendered in the view.
	* Setting the message to null, undefined, or empty string will remove the message from the view.
	*/
	message?: string;

I'm trying to determine if this is actually a feature we need.
