Make VS Code extension work in GitHub Codespaces #417

Open strager opened 3 years ago

qljs might work out of the box in Codespaces, but we should double-check.

Hmm, actually, it probably wouldn't work well. I assume extensions run in the browser itself, which means they need to use JS or WASM. We switched out extension away from WASM and to a Node.js add-on. The Node.js add-on won't work in the browser.

I see RemoteExtensionHost in VS Code's code base. I assume this would work. However, latency would suck, undermining the goodness of quick-lint-js.
