Notify ZE Extensions of team config changes

The onProfilesUpdate event was added to the Zowe Explorer API in 2.10 and provides a way for ZE Extensions to be notified of team config changes.

The CICS plug-in provides an example of how to use this event: https://github.com/zowe/vscode-extension-for-cics/blob/9c15337b9dde68c8be857a4380fcf7ab25a268f7/src/extension.ts#L84-L88

Should this be closed with the merge of the PR https://github.com/zowe/zowe-explorer-vscode/issues/2385 and the API @t1m0thyj spoke about or is there something else being requested here @gejohnston?

There seems to be an recent issue with this behavior in 2.15.2

However, I do agree that the mechanism to notify extenders is technically available today 😋
