Description

Following up on the suggestion of https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-makefile-tools/issues/80.
It could be useful to add a field in makefile.configurations to make one configuration as default, to be picked whenever the project state doesn't seem to have recorded another selection previously.

Research direction

Read the linked discussion in issue #80, then search the extension for makefile.configurations and the logic that restores project-state selections. Define how a default is chosen only when no prior selection is recorded, and verify that existing selections remain unchanged.
