Vscode: Iteration Plan for March 2019

[kieferrm]

This plan captures our work in March. We will ship our March Update in in early April. We entered March with a considerable number of items still in progress. We'll focus on those first. We'll look into providing support for Call Hierachies, UI and Language Server Protocol. We'll make it easier to develop extensions and contribute to our documentations. And we'll keep looking into getting ready for electron 5.0. We'll also continue our good deeds for the Vetur extension.

• March 25, 2019: Code freeze for the endgame
