A lot of developers use Visual Studio Code as their primary IDE. This
script generates a configuration file for VSCode that sets up basic build
tasks, launch tasks, as well as C/C++ code analysis settings that will
take into account compile_commands.json that is automatically generated
by meson.
Files generated by script:
- .vscode/settings.json: stores variables needed by other files
- .vscode/tasks.json: defines build tasks
- .vscode/launch.json: defines launch tasks
- .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json: defines code analysis settings
The script uses a combination of globbing and meson file parsing to
discover available apps, examples, and drivers, and generates a
project-wide settings file, so that the user can later switch between
debug/release/etc. configurations while keeping their desired apps,
examples, and drivers, built by meson, and ensuring launch configurations
still work correctly whatever the configuration selected.
This script uses whiptail as TUI, which is expected to be universally
available as it is shipped by default on most major distributions.
However, the script is also designed to be scriptable and can be run
without user interaction, and have its configuration supplied from
command-line arguments.

Not sure where it would go - contributors guide probably - but I think this
script could do with some docs, especially a quick-setup example on how to
use. Having it in the docs will also make it more likely someone will use
this.

Yep, this is the next step :) I've left it until v1 to add docs.
