RFR: 8223678: Add Visual Studio Code workspace generation support (for native code)

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Robin,

Looks good.

Adding of ide.md is very nice, but could you try to format it like 
testing.md and building.md in regards to line lengths? I believe we are 
trying for 80 chars in those to make them read reasonably in a standard 
editor.

It configures the default C/C++ IntelliSense Engine to allow code completion/navigation and similar features. It also configures two executable targets (gtestLauncher and java) that can be built and debugged from the IDE.
