Networking troubleshooting for end users is unclear
Our enterprise customers have noted that diagnosing networking latency from within the VSCode extension is difficult. The extension shows real-time latency, but does not offer assistance on how to improve performance.
Since many developers interact with Coder exclusively through VSCode, this is a great location to add finer-grained diagnostic tooling, or simply links to documentation on how to troubleshoot networking problems as a user.
This could be as simple as linking our Networking Troubleshooting documentation. We could link to the most relevant section of this documentation given a user's connection type as it's already detected by the extension.
We could potentially show this link in the hover or possibly when the latency is above a certain threshold (we can even use a different color/background color to indicate this "slowness")
