Form CompareFolders...

CLI By calling the following command from the terminal / command line, the extension will be calling on vscode load and show the differences view COMPARE_FOLDERS=DIFF code path/to/folder1 path/to/folder2

Very useful to have as an option to compare from command line.

Hi, someone asked about this before and I voted down the idea. VS Code does not support calling an extension from the command line. So it's a hack. If you find it useful, you can write an extension that does exactly the same thing on startup and then you can call any extension command from another extension. I will not change "activationEvents" because that means unnecessary load on startup.
