Display QR code with ngrok tunnel URL #18

Display a QR code generated with ngrok tunnel URL when started (at least the option to do so).

Use case: I've been using the free tier with the randomized ngrok.io subdomain to test localhost on mobile devices outside network. I would love to not have to type in the new URL manually every time. I currently accomplish this flow using a QR generator extension in Chrome then scan with phone to open URL. It'd be nice to have it just display when started like the web interface - perhaps in a tab within VS.

A mashup with some of this extensions functionality - VSCode QR Code
