No warning/error when pasting broken links into the Open Remote Repository quick pick

[rebornix]

• Run Open Remote Repository from the remote picker
• Paste in an invalid url (/dev/microsoft/vscode)
• Press enter, nothing happens

It should probably show a warning in the quick pick (through quick pick validation message) instead of doing nothing.

Is the validation message exposed for quickpicks? I thought it was only available as API for input box: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/16e948e102faa324bc263ed31463ad0a95f2250c/src/vscode-dts/vscode.d.ts#L11704-L11709

@joyceerhl ah you might need to use the InputBox API instead of the QuickPick shortcut to archive this

[joyceerhl]

But then we wouldn't be able to provide options for the user to choose from 🤔

[joyceerhl]

Maybe this is just a feature request to support validation messages for the quickpick API?

Could an item with the contents:

Invalid url: ${quickpick.value}

Be sufficient? Details of that error could be in the description/detail of quick pick item.
