AL Extension leaves Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.EditorServices.Host processes behind after closing VSCode

1. Describe the bug
On MacOS the "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.EditorServices.Host" processes opened by VSCode are not being closed when VSCode is closed resulting orphaned processes actively using RAM

2. To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start VSCode
2. Open a workspace or directory containing AL extension(s)
3. Wait the project to load
4. Close VSCode
5. The "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.EditorServices.Host" process is never closed
6. Repeat steps 1-5 and observe the growing number of orphaned processes

3. Expected behavior
The "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.EditorServices.Host" processes are being closed with VSCode

4. Actual behavior
The "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.EditorServices.Host" processes are not being closed with VSCode
