Add notification when re-selecting the same workspace environment (#441)

fixes #58

## Problem

When a user selects "Set As Workspace Environment" for an environment
that's already selected as the workspace environment, there's no
feedback provided to the user. This can be confusing, as it appears that
nothing happens when clicking the button.

## Solution

This PR adds feedback to users when they attempt to select an
environment that's already set as the workspace environment:

1. When a user has one folder/project open and tries to set the same
environment that's already selected
2. The user will now see an information message: "This environment is
already selected for the workspace." but its more verbose

Fixes #58 and refined by @eleanorjboyd
