Add tutorial for Getting Started with VS Code #164

VS Code has gotten very popular over the past few years and we're seeing more questions on how to setup SFML with it, than we see questions regarding Code::Blocks or any other IDE. Add to the fact that VS Code work cross-platform, we're not just seeing Windows users, but also macOS and Linux users trying to make use of it.

I'd recommend two sections:

The CMake extension is in my opinion superior, especially when paired with the SFML CMake Template, but one down side is, that the run/debug button built into VS Code, don't actually trigger CMake.
Additionally, the tasks.json setup is the more "VSC way" of doing things, so it would be a bit ignorant, if we didn't cover it at all.

With #167 we've added a link to the https://github.com/SFML/cmake-sfml-project and some additional words https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.6/start-cmake.php

I wonder whether that's enough, or if we really need a tutorial for the tasks.json
