Description

Feature Description:

VSCode opens a dialog to allow reporting an issue or feature request for a given extension. Several extensions already use this functionality, such as Docker and Azure extensions.

Can we bring this to Theia?

Research direction
The issue requests implementing the `vscode.openIssueReporter` command in Theia. Research how Theia currently handles VS Code API commands by examining the plugin system in the `packages/plugin ext` directory. Look at existing command implementations for patterns. Also, review how the Docker and Azure VS Code extensions use this command to understand the expected behavior. Theia's issue reporter command may need to be added as a custom command with the same identifier. Check the `common` and `browser` layers for command registration.
