Add support for installing dependent extensions #5

This CLI looks like a great improvement and I'd love to start incorporating it into our own extensions. However, it seems like it's missing support for installing extensions, which we need as we depend on (for example) the .NET Install Tool.

It would be great if the CLI could take in an array of extensions to install - or, even better, automatically install any extensions listed under extensionDependencies in the extension manifest.

Agreed. There are two workarounds now I can think of:

Use a isolated profile and add it to your launchArgs of the config e.g. "--profile=TestCLI" and then manually install your extensions there.
Use a PreLaunchTask to add the extensions to the downloaded installation
