Add ability to host on subdirectory

[WizzardMaker]

I would like to be able to host VS Code on a subdir on my domain (e.g. my-domain.com/vscode/), but a lot of scripts and the websocket connections default to the subdir-less host and often drop the correct referer, making it hard to serve VSCode on a subdirectory with nginx.

@jeanp413 @filiptronicek Does new server support it? If not I don't think we can do anything here. One should fork and change baseUrl in workbench.html and workbench.ts as far as I understand it.

We are in the process of migrating from code-server and also ran into this issue. We've gotten it mostly running now, only things missing are service worker calls and syntax highlighting as far as I can tell. Will open a PR once we have it in a decent state, which should be later this week or early next week.

Just to clarify we are not going to accept changes to the server, since it was open-sourced by MS: https://www.gitpod.io/blog/vscode-server It would be the best if you open a PR in the upstream: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode

I'm going to close it for now. I think it is the upstream issue.

Would be great if you manage to get it working inside a subfolder. I'm also very interested in hosting the server in an other path than root 😀 .
