This PR implements secure password storage for remote Jupyter servers, addressing a highly requested feature where users need to re-enter passwords every time they open VS Code.

User Experience
Before this change, users had to enter their password every time they opened VS Code or reconnected to a remote Jupyter server. Now passwords are securely stored and automatically retrieved, providing a seamless connection experience while maintaining security through VS Code's encrypted secrets storage.
The implementation preserves all existing behavior for backwards compatibility - users without stored passwords will continue to see the same prompts as before.
Fixes #13671.
