extension/src/goTelemetry: do our JSON enc/dec for telemetry start time

We noticed the vscode Memento API doesn't behave as we expected. That
made our recent attempt to increase the telemetry prompt rate
stopped by this bug.

Instead of relying on the Memento API's JSON stringify for Date object
encoding, do the enc/dec work on ourside and let Memento work with
string types.

The existing changes cover the json encoding, decoding cases.

Now goMain.ts activate() returns ExtensionTestAPI in testing mode.

In telemetry testing, we want to check if the value recorded with
vscode's real Memento API can be still usable. The real implementation
is accessible only by capturing the ExtensionContext passed to the
activate() invocation. Allow our test to access the extension's
globalState using the new ExtensionTestAPI.

Fixes #3312
