Once you prompt the user to confirm using vscode.window.showInformationMessage(...) to confirm, you can run vscode.mands.executeCommand("workbench.action.reloadWindow") to reload the window.

Accepted answer posted by user ajshort was crucial to figuring out how to call arbitrary editor mands, however, tying it together with user action still wasn't clear to me.

See function bellow for resolving the user action (click).

/** Prompts user to reload editor window in order for configuration change to take effect. */
function promptToReloadWindow() {
  const action = 'Reload';

  vscode.window
    .showInformationMessage(
      `Reload window in order for change in extension \`${EXTENSION_ID}\` configuration to take effect.`,
      action
    )
    .then(selectedAction => {
      if (selectedAction === action) {
        vscode.mands.executeCommand('workbench.action.reloadWindow');
      }
    });
}
