Settings Sync : Allow for custom backend service end points

[jmarandet]

According to the Settings Sync Plan #90129 and to the Settings Sync documentation ( https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/settings-sync ) it seems that only Microsoft and public Github account are supported.

What if we wanted to use a Github Enterprise backend, or any other git remote ( Gitlab, Gogs, whatever... ) ?

We have plans to open backend for other service providers but it depends on the demand.

See #84332 (comment)

[sandy081]

Yes. #84332 is for auth provider API. This is one piece of Settings Sync. This issue is for second piece - custom back ends for which we need standardise the settings sync service end point API.

Hence, based on the demand we will look into this.
