feat: add port forwarding to wsl

Recently I started coding more inside WSL than in Windows, but one issue made me reconsider this: the inability to expose WSL services to other networks with ease. The main discussion about WSL not being able to expose services with ease to other networks can be fount in this [WSL Issue](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4150). Thus we could say that this VSCode feature requests aim to be more like a workaround to that issue (that clearly is much more complex and not-soon to be resolved). Would it be possible to import the `Port` tab and the automatic and/or manual Port Forwarding that are available with `Remote-SSH` and `Remote-Tunnel`? To my point of view this shouldn't be much complex, since the Port Forwarding feature is already available. If needed I could write couple of use cases where this could be useful.
