Add support for github.dev

[m-abdelwahab]

Problem

It would be nice to make the Prisma extension compatible with https://github.dev. So far, there's no syntax highlighting, formatting, etc. for schema.prisma files.

Suggested solution

Make a web extension version. Guide from VS Code docs repo

Alternative

Use GitHub Codespaces where the extension is compatible.

Found this restriction list https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/web-extensions#web-extension-main-file

Here I can see that the most problematic ones are

• Node.js globals and libraries such as process, os, setImmediate, path, util, url are not available at runtime.
• Creating child processes or running executables is not possible.

We would need to

• switch to the WASM build of prisma-fmt
• check how to remove usage of the Node.js globals listed
• telemetry is using child_process, so probably disabling it in this context or find another implementation
• Not sure the file watcher implemented would work, could be disabled in this context.

This item from our blocker list is now taken care of:

• switch to the WASM build of prisma-fmt

This issue is closed now. Does this mean it's completely implemented and the VSCode plug-in can be used with https://vscode.dev and https://github.dev now?

[Jolg42]

I'm not sure why it was closed actually, since on github.dev the extension is still marked with The 'Prisma' extension is not available in Visual Studio Code - Insiders for the Web.

Note that the extension works with GitHub Codespaces https://github.com/codespaces

I suspect @m-abdelwahab just misunderstood what I wrote. We'll keep this issue open and around and work on removing the other blockers when we have time and it makes sense from a priority perspective.
