Description

Many Lean projects have a .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "editor.insertSpaces": true,
  "editor.tabSize": 2,
  "editor.rulers" : [100],
  "files.encoding": "utf8",
  "files.eol": "\n",
  "files.insertFinalNewline": true,
  "files.trimFinalNewlines": true,
  "files.trimTrailingWhitespace": true,
}

These do some basic file normalization that makes life easier in git, and encourages basic stylistic compatibility with other Lean projects.

Could the VSCode extension notice that a project doesn't have this file, and suggest adding this one?
