New Linux Development Features in Visual Studio

" summary

Visual Studio 17.7–17.10 adds concrete Linux workflow fixes: the Connection Manager surfaces exact failures and highlights which field fails, with explicit errors for unsupported RSA keys and bad passwords, and the integrated terminal automatically reconnects on disconnect. The Remote File Explorer now opens, edits and saves files directly to the remote host and those edits compile remotely. CMake presets now include remote_settings v2.0 with sourceRoot/remoteSourceRoot so source copying preserves layout and fixes broken relative paths.
