Add "switch build server" command to VSCode status bar

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Bottom right status bar shows the BSP server e.g. Bloop. But clicking on it does nothing.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if this was clickable and ran the Switch build server command.

I think it could be added here

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using command from Switch build server keyboard but then I'd have to take my hand of the mouse :scream:

We already added it to metals tab, I am not sure if adding to BSP status would work UX wise. Since even randomly clicking on the button would invoke the switch, which might be confusing?

Any other opinions? Maybe I am being overly cautious here?

Ah - fair enough - I guess it may cause users to accidentally switch without realising - it was just a nice to have for me - you can close if you want.

Let's leave it for now, maybe some has a better idea on how to make it more usable. I like the idea overall
