I would like to have my VS code extensions installed when I receive my Dev Box

Describe the solution you'd like
As a user, I should be able to:

  1. specify a list of extensions (extension version optional) that ought to be installed on my Dev Box, using
  2. extension id
  3. path to file that contains export of code --list-extensions
setupTasks:

 - task: install-vscode-extension
    inputs:
      extension: "packageName@version "
      additionalOptions: 

For V1, we will NOT be supporting path to a JSON export of extensions from VS Code
