Detached Pipeline Status

Problem to solve

As a developer in a company that uses only Pipelines for Merge Requests, I would still like to be able to see the status of my current pipeline in VSCode. Currently, it always reports "No pipeline found", because there is no pipeline associated with the branch. Only with the Merge Request.

Proposal

If a related merge request is detected, try fetching the status of the Merge Request Pipeline first, and if that does not exist fall back to fetching the pipeline for the branch.

Maybe add a config option to toggle this behavior on/off
