[11u] RFR: 8223678: Add Visual Studio Code workspace generation support (for native code)

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi,

I recreated the webrev after backport of 8189861: Refactor CacheFind.

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~clanger/webrevs/8223678.11u/

The only difference to the original proposal (http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/2020/8223678/) is that no modification to test/make/TestMakeBase.gmk is necessary any more).

Please review ASAP, as this would be the first push in the series of build system backports.

Thanks
Christoph
