Explore using the window titlebar to make the command palette more discoverable

[lychung7]

A couple of months ago we started brainstorming how we could update the titlebar.
Here are some of the most recent explorations:

Now we'll be iterating specifically on the command palette experience that opens from the titlebar.

How about command palette on title bar look like when vscode in a small screen?
This is my current minimal window display(1.64):

Here are a couple options @sbatten and I explored so far:

Option A:

A.mov

We slightly increased the height of the titlebar and increased the size of the search bar to match the size of our current command palette text field. Users type directly into the text field and the menu opens underneath.

Option B:

B.mov

We kept the size of the search bar the same from previous explorations, and have the command palette overlayed on top. The search bar acts more as a click target.
Would love to get people’s thoughts and feedback. I also included what the titlebar could look like in smaller windows.

Here's what the experience can also look like in smaller windows:

@dacapoday, we are thinking about minimizing the menu into an icon and showing the folder name inside the search bar (in its default, resting state) to give more space for the command palette.

As a user, I tend to have title menus and command palette box at the same time.

Cool idea, perhaps this could be configurable though, so advanced users could keep only the menus in the title bar as currently?

Closing since this is now merged. Will track feedback in new issues going forward.
