COGONI Guillaume 95b3002201 contrib/vscode/: debugging with VS Code and gdb
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.

Configuration for VS Code
=========================
[VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) is a lightweight but powerful source
code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for
[Windows](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows),
[macOS](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac) and
[Linux](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux). Among other languages,
it has [support for C/C++ via an extension](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools) with
[debugging support](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging)
To get help about "how to personalize your settings" read:
[How to set up your settings](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings)
To start developing Git with VS Code, simply run the Unix shell script called
`init.sh` in this directory, which creates the configuration files in
`.vscode/` that VS Code consumes. `init.sh` needs access to `make` and `gcc`,
so run the script in a Git SDK shell if you are using Windows.
