This builds the VSCode extension and adds the vsix-package as an asset to the GitHub release.
When a tagged release is published, the extension is published to the VSCode Marketplace (similar to publishing of Docker images to the registry).
As I find the handling of pre-releases in the VSCode marketplace strange (https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension#prerelease-extensions), e.g. not compatible with semver, and I don't know how we should handle this, there is currently no support for automatic publishing of 'nightly' versions of the extension. The workaround for this is to manually download and install the extension from the GitHub release. But TBH I believe there is currently no need for nightly releases of the extension, so this should be fine.
Also restructured workflow files. Unfortunately, GitHub Workflows cannot be placed into subfolders. As a workaround I used # as a separator.
