Pushed a big update to the MSBuild Log Viewer VS Code extension (still experimental!)

- no more emoji - use VS Code icons
- better display of search results in side view (and you can have multiple searches per binlog)
- bookmarks! pin log items in the side view
- long log entires open in real VS Code editor windows instead of in a div inside the binlog document

A screenshot of VS Code showing the MSBuild Log View explorer. The main window is split vertically, showing a binlog on top and a second editor with the detailed build summary on the bottom. On the left the side view has a Log Explorer tree view with searches and bookmarks. The bottom of the side view has a Search Results tree showing additional search results

So I made a thing...

It's a VS Code extension based on Kirill Osenkov's @KirillOsenkov MS Build structured log viewer.

The desktop version runs on CoreCLR, the insiders.vscode.dev version runs using the new (and still very experimental!) .NET 8 WASI workload on top of VS Code's WASI extension host (code.visualstudio.com/blogs/20)
