Allow to save a list of opened editors in a group and switch between them

- VSCode Version: 1.3.1 - OS Version: all There are many times I have a set of open editors in the middle of working on something but need to stop and look at a completely different part of the project. Currently, I can: 1. Just open the new set of files I need, which clutters up the open editors 2. Close my open editors and open the new set of files, which makes it easier to work on the second part but very difficult to get back to the previous state when I need to It would be nice to be able to save a state of which editors and files are open to retrieve later so I could save the state, close everything, and switch to the new set of files, then easily restore the initial state when I'm finished. This is my main use case for wanting to be able to open multiple windows. See #7330 #2686
