Consider using an existing library for variable replacement to support multi-root workspaces

[smac89]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The extension currently doesn't work well with multi-root workspaces due to being unable to understand the variables used to describe the path to a project root.

Describe the solution you'd like

Consider using https://github.com/DominicVonk/vscode-variables to replace the current replaceVars function, as it is able to resolve the correct paths for many of the existing variables.

Describe alternatives you've considered
