"Copy test ID" includes `file://` gunk

[MetRonnie]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

The "copy test ID" context menu command now includes file:// gunk at the beginning of the ID.

Steps to reproduce:

1. In either the test explorer or gutter, right click a test icon and choose "copy test ID"

Expected vs actual clipboard contents:

-/path/to/workspace/tests/unit/test_foo.py::test_bar
+file:///path/to/workspace@@vsc@@/path/to/workspace/tests/unit/test_foo.py::test_bar

Diagnostic data

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)
