Merge #3389

3389: Note vscode remote limitation when client install fails r=matklad a=not-much-io

Just adding a note about the limitation referenced in https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/2522/ 

Considered checking if this message is relevant in the context (is this remote?) but decided against it because of return on investment - seeing how fast vscode iterates this limitation might just disappear in the near future.

Also checked if there is a way to already do this which lead me to leaving a specifing question at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/385
