The `swift package show-dependencies` and `swift package describe` commands run on extension activation, and several extension features are gated behind their results. These were run with `execSwift` calls which show no progress in the VS Code UI. The `swift package show-dependencies` command specifically could kick off a package resolution if the dependencies are missing, and for large packages this could take quite some time. As a result the extension could look like it was not activating. Move these two commands into VS Code tasks that report their status in the progress bar, and let the user see the actual commands being run in the terminal.
