Create a VS Code test provider

[voxpelli]

Just adding here to keep track of this request. I may perhaps be able to contribute this eventually. Been wanting to make a VS Code extension for some time.

Links:

• Relevant documentation: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/testing
• Example provider: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-selfhost-test-provider
• Relevant vscode issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/107467
• Related Twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/voxpelli/status/1465693796960665614?s=20

If this is meant to replicate https://node-tap.org/docs/watch/ then I would not want it to be a VSCode extension exclusively. I would want the test runner to support it natively.

Absolute, I meant it as a complement

brittle -w is already supported https://github.com/davidmarkclements/brittle#runner

A VS Code integration would be awesome, I think it should probably be a different repo.

If you were to create it I'd happily create an org and put both this repo and your repo into it.

Totally agree, created this here to keep track of the idea / request, when I or someone else get time for it, then it should totally be its own repo
