Research direction

Start at the tfx extension isvalid command entry point and trace how the --vsix parameter is handled. Reproduce the command with a local VSIX, then verify that validation uses that package rather than the last published extension and that the local validation result is reported.

Description

Area: tfx-cli enhancement

Is there a way to run the tfx extension isvalid command against a local vsix package before uploading? I would like to be able to validate a vsix before publish so that this can be part of the CI build for my extension. There is a --vsix param that looks like it may be for this purpose. However, if i run using that arg, its still returning the validation status from the last published extension.
