Package Manager Commands

Adds commands to enable/disable/reload a package from the command palette.

Commands

• Package Manager: Enabled Package Lists all disabled packages to enable.

• Package Manager: Reload Project Package Quick access to reload the current package being worked on. This command is only visible if the project root matches the package path.
  package-manager:reload-project-package

How Does Reloading Work?

• We first deactivate the package if it's activated.
• Then we unload it.
• We delete all modules in require.cache and Module._cache that start with the package.path.
• Load the package.
• Activate the package only if it was activated beforehand.
