Allow multiple build tasks depending on file type

[felixfbecker]

I'm working with a lot of projects that have different build tasks for different file types, for example I javac for Java, pdflatex for Latex, others may have lessc for their styles and babel for their JS.
Currently, you can only define one build task to be run when Ctrl+Shift+B is pressed. tasks.json allows us to nicely define tasks to run with the currently opened file, but (eg compile the currently open java / Latex / Less / ES6 file), but you can only assign one of these tasks the shortcut that comes with isBuildCommand.

It would be nice if instead of just "isBuildCommand": true we could also define "isBuildCommand": "java" and for another task "isBuildCommand": "latex" so VS Code automatically runs the desired task when pressing Ctrl+Shift+B depending on what type of file is currently open.

This should also work with "isTestCommand"

I also have tasks like build-admin, build-main, build-server. It would be nice if Ctrl+Shift+F5 would trigger the right build task based on a glob that is matched on the currently opened file (could set the folder in there).

Couple of things have improved here with task 2.0.0:

• you can have dependsOn to trigger n tasks
• you can bind a key binding to any task
