Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I am evaluating [Visual Studio 2026 Insiders](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-2026-insiders-is-here/) and would like to use the [ms-azuretools.visualstudiobicep](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.visualstudiobicep) marketplace extension.

VS 2022 extensions are supposedly compatible, so hopefully there is no additional work required other than relaxing the exclusive version range constraints[¹](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/concepts/package-versioning?tabs=semver20sort#version-ranges).

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Update the extension.vsixmanifest to properly support 18.0
