The contrib/vscode/init.sh script initializes the .vscode directory with
some helpful metadata so VS Code handles Git code better.
One big issue that VS Code has is detecting the tab width based on file
type. ".txt" files were not covered by this script before, so add them
with the appropriate tab widths. This prevents inserting spaces instead
of tabs and keeps the tab width to eight instead of four or two.
While we are here, remove the "editor.wordWrap" settings. The editor's
word wrap is only cosmetic: it does not actually insert newlines when
your typing goes over the column limit. This can make it appear like you
have properly wrapped code, but it is incorrect. Further, existing code
that is over the column limit is wrapped even if your editor window is
wider than the limit. This can make reading such code more difficult.
Without these lines, VS Code renders the lines accurately, without
"ghost" newlines.

The externalConsole=true setting is broken for many users (launching the
debugger with such setting results in VS Code waiting forever without
actually starting the debugger). Also, this setting is a matter of user
preference, and is arguably better set in a "launch" section in the
user-wide settings.json than hardcoded in our script. Remove the line to
use VS Code's default, or the user's setting.
Add useful links in contrib/vscode/README.md to help the user to
configure VS Code and how to use the debugging feature.

By default, the cSpell extension ignores all files under .git/. That
includes, unfortunately, COMMIT_EDITMSG, i.e. commit messages. However,
spell checking is *quite* useful when writing commit messages... And
since the user hardly ever opens any file inside .git (apart from commit
messages, the config, and sometimes interactive rebase's todo lists),
there is really not much harm in *not* ignoring .git/.
The default also ignores `node_modules/`, but that does not apply to
Git, so let's skip ignoring that, too.

The quite useful cSpell extension allows VS Code to have "squiggly"
lines under spelling mistakes. By default, this would add too much
clutter, though, because so much of Git's source code uses words that
would trigger cSpell.
Let's add a few words to make the spell checking more useful by reducing
the number of false positives.

This adds a couple settings for the .c/.h files so that it is easier to
conform to Git's conventions while editing the source code.

When configuring VS Code as core.editor (via `code --wait`), we really
want to adhere to the Git conventions of wrapping commit messages.

The C/C++ settings are special, as they are the only generated VS Code
configurations that *will* change over the course of Git's development,
e.g. when a new constant is defined.
Therefore, let's only update the C/C++ settings, also to prevent user
modifications from being overwritten.
Ideally, we would keep user modifications in the C/C++ settings, but
that would require parsing JSON, a task for which a Unix shell script is
distinctly unsuited. So we write out .new files instead, and warn the
user if they may want to reconcile their changes.

Sadly, we do not get all of the definitions via ALL_CFLAGS. Some defines
are passed to GCC *only* when compiling specific files, such as git.o.
Let's just hard-code them into the script for the time being.

VS Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on
your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. Among other
languages, it has support for C/C++ via an extension, which offers to
not only build and debug the code, but also Intellisense, i.e.
code-aware completion and similar niceties.
This patch adds a script that helps set up the environment to work
effectively with VS Code: simply run the Unix shell script
contrib/vscode/init.sh, which creates the relevant files, and open the
top level folder of Git's source code in VS Code.
