Restore Git Branch Tabs

Restore opened tabs on a per git branch basis.

Opened editors are saved for each branch in the workspace. Switching branches saves the currently opened editors and restores the editors that were opened when last editing the new branch.

This extension was heavily based off of the work done by Eric Amodio, specifically his Restore Editors extension.
