```
extensions_ui: Add `RebuildDevExtension` action (#55173)

For the extension devs:

Adds a `RebuildDevExtension` action that triggers a rebuild of an
installed dev extension.

- If no dev extensions are installed, shows an error notification.
- If exactly one dev extension is installed, rebuilds it immediately.
- If multiple dev extensions are installed, opens a fuzzy picker to
select which one to rebuild.

Makes it easy for devs to trigger a rebuild with a keymap once an action
is defined with this PR.
