Mongoose OS IDE with mos-native support

This is a modification of Mongoose OS IDE extension for Visual Studio Code. The difference between the original one is using mos-native script for building ESP32 applications on MacOS much faster without using a Docker. Hope it saves your time!

Also in modified extension:

1. Hidden option Remote build, because of false clicking sometimes.
2. There is a feature for redefining boards list by adding the file boards.json to the root directory of your Mongoose OS project. In case of missing file boards.json at the root directory or incorrect file format the extension will show default boards list defined in the original extension. This feature gives you a possibility to define your personal list of boards with custom build vars. Example of the file boards.json is shown below:

{
  "ESP32 revision v1": "--platform esp32 --build-var BOARD=revision_v1",
  "ESP32 revision v2": "--platform esp32 --build-var BOARD=revision_v2",
  "ESP32": "--platform esp32",
  "ESP8266": "--platform esp8266"
}

Installation

Uninstall original extension from Visual Studio Code. Download precompiled extension file mongoose-os-ide-0.7.0.vsix and install it manually, details here: Install extensions from a VSIX. Install mos-native script. Next add "MOS_NATIVE" environment variable as a path to mos_build_local.sh script. If environment variable "MOS_NATIVE" not set the extension works as original one except hidden Remote build option.
