Adds a new section to the Testing Extensions guide explaining how extension authors can write integration tests that cover both trusted and untrusted workspace scenarios. Covers: - How Workspace Trust state works in the Extension Development Host - Configuring separate test runs per trust state via @vscode/test-cli - Using an isolated --user-data-dir to prevent trust from persisting - Writing assertions using vscode.workspace.isTrusted - Using onDidGrantWorkspaceTrust event in tests - Configuring launch.json for trusted and untrusted test runs Closes microsoft#9583

Hey! I ran into issue #9583 myself while writing tests for a trust-aware extension and couldn't find any docs on this. Added a section covering how to test trusted vs untrusted workspace behavior — covers test config, assertions using isTrusted, and launch.json setup.
Closes #9583
