Font stylistic set support

[smlombardi]

Issue Type: Feature Request

In the new version 2.0 of Fira Code, there are some stylistic options that can be set (e.g. old-style figures). In Sublime Text there's a simple json key you can add to its settings file to enable the ones you want.

In VSCode, you have to use an extension which modifies the "custom css". This seems hacky and needs to be enabled after every update.

I'd rather be able to do this with a settings key like Sublime Text.

Implemented via ab0eb6d (#82153) and it already shipped in Insiders.

e.g.

"editor.fontLigatures": "'ss01', 'ss02', 'ss03', 'ss04', 'ss05', 'ss06', 'zero', 'onum'"

or

    "editor.fontFamily": "Fira Code"    
    "editor.fontLigatures": true,
    "[cpp]": {
        "editor.fontLigatures": "'ss06', 'ss19'",
    },
    "[javascript]": {
        "editor.fontLigatures": "'ss06'",
    },

Hey @alexandrudima, awesome work on this – it makes my code font project so much nicer to use in VS Code, and is yet another reason I'm really happy to be using VS Code as my go-to editor. :) Thank you!
