Gitpod to support rebuild current workspace

[JesterOrNot]

Having to close the current workspace and having to build a new one can be confusing for new users, we should make a way to trigger the rebuild of the current workspace

[rholland]

I agree.

This is really needed: https://community.gitpod.io/t/configuration-workflow/1299

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

This is a pretty big barrier for me. I think it should stay open. Should I file a new issue with the same text?

In github codeapaces: Ctrl+shift+P -> rebuild container.
Why does it have to be so difficult to implement in gitpod? Also why is this marked as stale with no option to reopen? Your stale bot is way too aggressive
