Rls: Publish vs code plugin

[jntrnr]

We need to publish the vs code plugin so that it's easy to get. This should align with the RLS being available in the stable release train.

Hi,
I used RLS in VS Code with this Plugin: https://github.com/editor-rs/vscode-rust
It works really well for me. Is there any particular reason not to work together with this project to avoid having multiple Plugins with the same functionality? Maybe they could be convinced to make RLS their default?

[jntrnr]

The RLS is still very early, but we hope that as it matures it will be powerful enough for more tools to use and rely on.

It'd be nice to have a single VSCode plugin, just to prevent confusion, but I think that might be up to @KalitaAlexey ultimately. What we have now is more of a way to test that the RLS works, but having a more full-featured plugin sounds like where we want to be in the future.

That's exactly what vscode-rust is, in my opinion.

@KalitaAlexey - I think we're saying having a single repo rather than multiple repos. It's at least something worth chatting about, so people aren't as confused about there being multiple plugins.

@jonathandturner,
Single repository for both RLS and its extension?
I think it's overkill since they are not highly coupled.

@KalitaAlexey - sorry, mistyped. I meant having two different vscode extensions confuses people. Would be good if we could just have one extension in the future.

In the future, the hope is that we won't need Racer, but we'll still use projects like rustfmt to do the formatting. In a way, many features would be similar between the two plugins as the RLS grows.

@jonathandturner,
I am wondering why vscode-rust doesn't suit you now.
It is more powerful than rls_vscode.
