Description

It would be great to be able to delete several branches using the command "Git: Delete Branch..." (eg the quick pick with branches could include checkboxes)

I think this would be a great addition especially because git CLI doesn't have a nice interactive workflow to delete branches.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current 'Git: Delete Branch' command implementation in vscode's git extension, understand how the quick pick works, and explore adding multi select support with checkboxes.
