Tianocore maintains container images in the tianocore/containers repo
and stores container images within the GitHub container registry.
https://github.com/tianocore/containers
This change adds a devcontainer.json file to the edk2 repo. This
file's metadata and settings to configurate a development container
for a given well-defined tool and runtime stack.
More information about the devcontainer.json file is available here:
https://containers.dev/implementors/json_reference/
This file is recognized by popular tools such as GitHub Codespaces
and VS Code. In VS Code in particular, it makes it much easier for
a user to be aware a dev container exists (via UI notifications)
and to load the container.
A minimal number of VS Code extensions are specified that are useful
for edk2 development or to assist in complying with CI checks in
place in edk2.
