Opening figures, simulink models, etc. in VS Code

[Gusmano-2-OSU]

Implements opening .fig, .slx and other MATLAB files through VS code's context menu.

Note! I'm brand new to developing in TypeScript, and I'm having some implementation issues (specifically, getting the menu option to occur in the context menu.) Still, I wanted to put this here in case @dklilley or any of the other maintainers want to help with the final steps!

Hi @Gusmano-2-OSU, thanks for working on this! I will plan to take a look at this soon (likely early next week).

Before I take a look, I just wanted to clarify - you are having some difficulty getting the "MATLAB: Open File" option added into the context menu?

[Gusmano-2-OSU]

Hey @dklilley, that's exactly right! The idea is, you right click any file supported by MATLAB's open command, and you get a context menu command that lets you run the command on that file. As someone who works a lot with figures and Simulink models, I'm hoping it can significantly increase the speed of my workflow!

My dream implementation of this is that a normal click would open these files as a tab in the current vs code window, but it would definitely be good enough if they opened in a separate MATLAB window.

Thanks for taking a look!
