plugin-ext-vscode: apply file handlers only for user plugins

This patch fixes an unexpected behavior where Theia would also pick up
and deploy .vsix files from the local-plugins directory into the
deployedPlugins directory, where they will be treated as user-installed
extensions on the next start of theia.

Instead, we now only apply the file handlers for .vsix files if they are
user extensions. For system plugins, we print a warning message indicating
that the plugin has to be unpacked manually.

Fixes #13222
