Add version number option to --install-extension

[arseniybanayev]

Due to this issue, I would like to be able to declare in my "IDE" Dockerfile that the MS Python extension should be installed at version 2020.05.86806, instead of latest (which is default).

Could you add an option to code-server --install-extension to allow specifying the version? Otherwise, I have to manually select the desired version whenever my "IDE" container starts anew. Suggested syntax could be code-server --install-extension extension-name [--version 2020.05.86806].

VS Code lets you do this using @version and the same applies to code-server (although VS Code doesn't document this anywhere for some reason, at least not that I could find).

It might not be a bad idea to mention this in our --help output or the FAQ.

Actually they recently added it to their help so we should do the same.
