Fix VS Code extension issue by sending a different GQL query for VSCE

Warren Gifford requested to merge ps/fix-vscode-issue into main

Created by: philipp-spiess

A recent change changed one of the GraphQL queries that the VS Code extension is using to add a new field that was only recently added to the GraphQL backend (c.f. here).

This unfortunately is not available on "older" server versions including 3.42.1. This means that every person that updates their VS Code extension release now and is on an on-prem server that lags a bit behind will see the search broken.

We do not yet have a system to get the server version and make decisions based on it so I decide to fix it by reverting to the previous query in the VS Code environment (the backend is written in a way that it can handle older clients, just not the other way around).

Test plan

I verified that this fixes the VSCE issue by running a query against 3.42.1.
