Pull request overview
This PR corrects the labeling of extension-provided MCP servers in the Chat Customizations UI so users aren’t misled into thinking those servers ship with VS Code.
Changes:
- Renamed the MCP group header label from “Built-in” to “Extensions”.
- Updated the MCP group header description to clarify the servers come from installed extensions.

The MCP section in the Chat Customizations window labeled extension-provided servers (e.g. Pylance MCP) as "Built-In", implying they ship with VS Code rather than coming from installed extensions. This aligns the label with the Agents section which already uses "Extensions".
