Description

I tried a few different values here but whenever I try to put binlogs at a relative path, the install directory of VS Code itself is used as the base directory. See my attempts :)

Research direction

Locate the implementation and existing tests for the `dotnet.projects.binaryLogPath` setting; first inspect how relative paths are resolved when the setting is read. Reproduce the reported workspace-relative and default cases, and consider the work done when a relative value resolves from the workspace rather than the VS Code installation directory.
