VSCode integration with HLS

Added brief instructions to get started with VSCode.

I am not sure "integration" is the best wording, as it's more about getting VSCode + HLS extension to pick up correctly on a GHC installed from GHCup. Open to suggestions :)

  • Shouldn't it be enough to just link to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=haskell.haskell so that we don't duplicate information?

    I agree. The reason I went for more than a simple link is:

    • their documentation mentioning GHCup simply points to GHCup's homepage, which is of no use for the user (okay, it's their problem but still, if we had a better page to give them, they could point there)
    • their documentation mentioning HLS is quite an adventure: the user needs to follow a sequence of links throughout their documentation before they finally reach stack's documentation, which does provide system-ghc: true but in a different context (with no mention of GHCup of course).

    As a maintainer I guess you need to balance between avoiding duplicating work and facilitating information to constitute useful (unfragmented) wholes (maintainers vs new users's conflicting interests I guess). The way I feel it, GHCup's point is to lower the barrier of entry to Haskell, so I think this would slightly favor new users.

    If you are not convinced I can reduce this to a mention, as is done already for Vim integration. Your call.
