Replace Visual Studio Code with VSCodium

This PR swaps VSCode with VSCodium, a fully FOSS alternative to Visual Studio Code.

Description

This replaces Visual Studio Code with VSCodium in applications.json.

Why it should be included to Awesome macOS open source applications (optional)

VSCodium is to VSCode as Chromium is to Chrome. Visual Studio Code includes non-FOSS components (most notably telemetry and branding) that VSCodium does not have. Beyond that, they are functionally identical to one another.

@ehelly I think you should add VSCodium as a new app, without replacing Visual Studio Code.

@serhii-londar Thanks for the input! I would still recommend removing VSCode from this repo, however. I encourage you to skim the VSCode license agreement particularly section five which states that "you may not [...] attempt to derive the source code for the software" which is the exact opposite of FOSS. I think this would be consistent with your merging of this pull request that removed Keka since it isn't really open source. VSCode is based on open source software, but it itself is not open source (but VSCodium is!). In the same way that Chromium is on the list but Chrome is not, the same should apply to VSCodium and VSCode. Let me know what you think!
