Found this usability issue when testing the bundled Arduino CLI on a fresh machine. When the user first tries to verify or upload, an error will appear say that a board needs to be selected. However, when the statusbar item is clicked to select a board, the dropdown is empty. This is because Arduino CLI has no boards installed by default. This PR adds a link to the Boards Manager in this case so that the user can install the board package they need.

Verified on the PR build.

@gcampbell-msft I'm bypassing review requirements so there's time to spin a second release candidate build before testing tomorrow.
