VSCode Plugin

I have no idea what the feasibility of this is, but having an actual VSCode plugin that exposes SimplySerial as its own window/panel/terminal type/whatever without hijacking the standard terminal window would be lovely.

The 1.55 (March 2021) release of VSCode includes a "Terminal Profiles" feature which makes it pretty easy to add custom terminal types. There is no official API for extensions to automatically add custom terminal types, but that functionality is being explored (see microsoft/vscode#120369). For the time being, I would like to add instructions to the readme that detail how to modify settings.json to add a SimplySerial terminal.

Just FYI: Microsoft released Serial Monitor in 2022 June. However it's a VS Code plugin, not an app for the console.
