Feature Request: Allow disabling new data browser

[guillotjulien]

Feature Request

Detailed Description

It would be nice if there was a control allowing users to enable or disable the new data browser UI to view the data as plain JSON like before. Currently the only option to bypass the new UI is to use .toArray().

Context

I personally prefer it over the new data browser UI, since I don't have to collapse every single property manually to view the full document content. It's also easier to copy things using only keyboard movements controls (it's also way faster, but I guess this part will get better over time).

Possible Implementation

Something like this would do the trick I guess. I tried commenting out all code but the _openInResultPane call, and I get the result I want:

async _openResult(result: PlaygroundRunResult): Promise<void> {
   const shouldAlwaysUseResultPane = vscode.workspace
      .getConfiguration('mdb')
      .get('alwaysUseResultPane');

    if (result.constructionOptions && !shouldAlwaysUseResultPane) {
      const { method } = result.constructionOptions.options;
      if (method === 'find' || method === 'aggregate') {
        // open find or aggregate cursor results in the data browser
        // Note: We leave out aggregateDb and runCursorCommand for now because
        // those don't have an associated collectionName and that's a bit
        // removed from how data browser currently works.
        await vscode.commands.executeCommand(
          ExtensionCommand.mdbOpenDataBrowserFromPlayground,
          { result },
        );
        return;
      }
    }

    // as a fallback, show results that aren't find or aggregate cursors in the result pane
    await this._openInResultPane(result);
  }

Please! I just got stuck needing to do something that the new view doesn't support, and couldn't find the setting to switch to the old view. Almost downgraded, but your .toArray() suggestion works well. Thank you.
