WORKSPACE_CONTAINS_TIMEOUT should be configurable

I have 184 extensions been installed locally in my Visual Studio Code. Everytime I opened any of my project no matter what .NET or Java. I always have some extensions not loaded successfully. Here are the logs below:

I saw this code snippet:

vscode/src/vs/workbench/services/extensions/common/workspaceContains.ts

Lines 90 to 93 in 3f2adbf

	const timer = setTimeout(async () => {
	tokenSource.cancel();
	host.logService.info(`Not activating extension '${extensionId.value}': Timed out while searching for 'workspaceContains' pattern ${globPatterns.join(',')}`);
	}, WORKSPACE_CONTAINS_TIMEOUT);

I realized the WORKSPACE_CONTAINS_TIMEOUT is a constant to 7000 only. It obvious not enough on my machine and it's not configurable.

vscode/src/vs/workbench/services/extensions/common/workspaceContains.ts

Line 17 in 3f2adbf

const WORKSPACE_CONTAINS_TIMEOUT = 7000;

I'd like to suggest add a new config for this.
