Detect devcontainer names decorator #65

@thediveo

Description

@thediveo
  1. a devcontainer's container labels encompass devcontainer.config_file: this label's value specifies a path to the devcontainer.json from the perspective of the devcontainer's container engine.
  2. the referenced config file in JSON format contains the .name field that specifies the, well, name of the dev container.

A devcontainer decorator thus could be able to retrieve the names of devcontainers and set them as "aliases"/user-facing names (as opposed to container IDs), overriding the Docker autogenerated devcontainer name. Alternatively, the UI rendering could render an additional devcontainer name property on top of the standard container name rendering.
