web extensions don't provide all properties #249
Description
It blocks installing such extensions in VS Code version of Gitpod: gitpod-io/gitpod#3257 (comment)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Code.WebResource and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Code.WebExtension should be supported. If such information is indexed then we should reindex existing extensions.

Hey, we experienced similar issues when testing the Vim extension with code-server; here's a few notes:
So, VSCode, for Web extensions, appears to always fetch files directly from the extension gallery CDN (as far as I can tell). This presents two issues: exposing the extra files via the search API and serviing them via the CDN, and also maintaining old versions.
I'm not sure if Open-VSX internally stores old versions - from my tests with querying the service URL, it only appears to return the latest version. Not having past versions can cause issues where the serve has not updated to the newer version, but the client cannot find the old version on the extension gallery.

I'm planning to work on this within this or next month.

Is this fixed by #262 ?

@danieldietrich did some great work on this, and it all looked good in the staging tests. But for some reason it does not work fully in production yet.

Not fully work. Is this mean not all extension works. Is vim working in production mode ?

Hi! When hosting open-vsx in a test environment, including a 'web' instance of vscode, the vim web extension works fine with my changes. However, requesting the web assets in the open-vsx.org production env currently leads to 404 errors. It may be an infrastructure problem, I am still investigating it (without having access to the infrastructure).

I just was able to install VIM extension from Open VSX in Gitpod and it runs alone in browser web worker:
@danieldietrich @spoenemann Thank you for all work on it!
