The externalConsole=true setting is broken for many users (launching the
debugger with such setting results in VS Code waiting forever without
actually starting the debugger). Also, this setting is a matter of user
preference, and is arguably better set in a "launch" section in the
user-wide settings.json than hardcoded in our script. Remove the line to
use VS Code's default, or the user's setting.
Add useful links in contrib/vscode/README.md to help the user to
configure VS Code and how to use the debugging feature.

VS Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on
your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. Among other
languages, it has support for C/C++ via an extension, which offers to
not only build and debug the code, but also Intellisense, i.e.
code-aware completion and similar niceties.
This patch adds a script that helps set up the environment to work
effectively with VS Code: simply run the Unix shell script
contrib/vscode/init.sh, which creates the relevant files, and open the
top level folder of Git's source code in VS Code.
