Add Chinese translation in configuration

Hi @quanzhuo, nice contribution. I am in general in favour of adding support for languages other than English but we need to be careful how we do it, for a couple of reasons.

  1. It needs to be done to all the UI elements not just the package.json i.e. descriptions of settings
  2. We have no way of maintaining it, so it will inevitably end up being out of date whenever we change/add/remove settings. For example see the PR for version 3.0 https://github.com/krvajal/vscode-fortran-support/pull/293

To address the 1st point the implementation would have to look something like what the vscode-cpptools. For the 2nd point I actually have no idea how to address, any thoughts on that?

@gnikit Very considerate of you. I can't find a very convenient way to address the second point. Maybe you can set owner for each language. And only release new version after all the i18n work is done.

That is a bit of an issue since it will increase the development time quite substantially (currently, I am the only one actively maintaining the extension). I will see if this can be added to version 3.0. and if so I will tag you in that PR.

If this PR is merged. And you add new settings afterwards. You can at me, I am glad to help translating it to Chinese.
