```
Add 'git: view commit' command palette action (#39009)

adds a 'git: view commit' – accepting a ref (e.g. HEAD, an sha, etc) to
more easily navigate to the git commit view.

if a bad ref is entered, the user is shown a generic error

/>

happy to adjust any of that. also worth noting is the `git: branch`
command UI is a bit nicer, can e.g. show you some metadata on the commit
before you select it, so happy to take it further in that direction if
desired, but thought i'd keep it simple to start.

Release Notes:

- Added view commit command palette action
