vscode: Manage profiles using home-manager

[francishamel]

Description

The concept of profiles has recently been added to Visual Studio Code. According to the doc, profiles let you create sets of customization and quickly switch between them or share them with others. It lets you have different settings/extensions for different profiles.

Since we can already manage VSCode extensions + settings using home-manager, I think it would be great to also support profiles.

What would be even cooler is if you could define a vscode profile in a nix flake and load that upon entering a given workspace, maybe hooking into direnv, so you could ensure everyone on the team runs the same set of extensions and versions, while avoiding changing the user's home-manager config.
