Publish a SWA from VS Code

[anthonychu]

Needs discussion

1. Select a SWA (exclude ones that are connected to GitHub):
   • Create a SWA without connecting to GitHub
   • Or select from list of SWAs not connected to GitHub
2. Select a storage account and blob container (must be private) - Currently, the deployment API takes a URL to a zip file so a Storage account is needed. Need to figure out the most seamless experience here to ensure one exists and to select it.
3. Select frontend app output/artifacts location
4. Select backend app location (do we build the app for them? what if it's an app like C# that builds into a subdirectory?)

Then the extension will zip up the 2 folders in the right format and upload it to the container. Generate a SAS URI for the file and call the zipdeploy API with the SAS URI.

When successful, do we delete the file from storage?
