Describe the issue:

The Runtime Startup Diagnostics report includes information gleaned from the extension host. When Positron's extension host is not responsive, the Runtime Startup Diagnostics report -- which is intended to help diagnose startup issues such as extensions failing to load -- doesn't load.

Expected behavior

• The Runtime Startup Diagnostics should include the status of the extension host.
• The Runtime Startup Diagnostics should not wait forever from data from the extension host. If the extension host doesn't return data in a reasonable time, it should build a report that includes all the data we can glean without the host.
