[docker-compose] "runServices" not working if "service" already running

[mustafalim]

• VSCode Version: 1.83.1
• Remote Extension/Connection Type: Containers

Given the devcontainer.json like:

{
	"name": "project-1",
	"dockerComposeFile": [
		"${localEnv:HOME}/Projects/docker/docker-compose.yml"
	],
	"service": "golang",
	"runServices": [
		"postgres"
	]
}

{
	"name": "project-2",
	"dockerComposeFile": [
		"${localEnv:HOME}/Projects/docker/docker-compose.yml"
	],
	"service": "golang",
	"runServices": [
		"mongo"
	]
}

For example, the two projects above are attached to the same container "golang", but both of them have different service dependencies. When the first project already opened, the second project "runServices" not running (postgres running but mongo not running), and vice versa.

To try the behaviour, I also tried to manually run golang container first before open vscode. When the "service" container (golang) already running, all "runServices" is ignored and not run already.
