Description

Brief Issue Summary

cmake.configureSettings in user settings.json will works on both local and remote. But this config may include path or something else which is related to specific computer.

For example, to use vcpkg, CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE have to be added into. But it will stop configuration on remote. Thus, we cannot guarantee that the remote has an out-of-the-box environment while guaranteeing the local. Unless the local configuration is overwritten on each remote computer.

Therefore, cmake.configureSettings should not take effect on the remote computer.
