Description
Mentioned in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-makefile-tools/issues/217.
Like we can parse for IntelliSense from a build.log and not invoke "make --dry-run", we should offer the same possibility to parsing targets: via a given "targets.log" and not by "make -pRrq".

Research direction
Start by reading the referenced issue #217 and the existing build.log parsing path for IntelliSense. Trace how target discovery currently invokes "make -pRrq" and identify where a configured targets.log could enter instead. Done means targets can be parsed from targets.log without invoking that command, with behavior consistent with the existing log-based parsing option.
