VSC dev container fails to start

[huss]

Describe the bug

Sometimes opening OED in the Visual Studio Code dev container fails to run properly.

Expected behavior

It should work. Note this is not, in general, seen if you use docker compose up. The issue is generally fixed if you do a docker compose down or, somewhat equivalently, remove the two OED Docker containers before stating in VSC after (or before) an issue.

Additional context

OED knows of no one who has successfully used OED with Codespace on GitHub and that might somehow be related.

PR #1228 tried to fix this but it was not completely successful. @huss looked at waitFor with onCreateCommand to try to do a docker compose down before VSC started but ran into issues. This issue is to document the situation and hope someone can figure it out.
