Feature request: Allow custom .vscode directory name

[MathiasMagnus]

Suggestion

I would like to request for the ability to set custom folder name to store workspace-specific editor options, canonically stored under a folder named .vscode in ${workspaceRoot}.

Gains

The sheer awesome it would enable now that VS Code opens from within WSL (on Insider builds starting from 17063) is that one could have side-by-side debugging of the very same source tree opened from Windows VS Code with Windows dependencies and WSL with native Linux dependencies.

Current behavior

The problem with the hardcoded ${workspaceRoot}/.vscode is that I cannot set different settings for my Linux and my Windows editor instance which is required to find dependencies (CMake configure params for eg.) on the respective platforms. If I could set .vscode-win and .vscode-wsl respectively, as global settings for the Win and WSL variants, workspace-specific settings would not collide.
