ActionScript Release Task: Task generates java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Hello Josh,

I have an issue when trying to build a release via the "ActionScript: compile release - asconfig.json" task. Everything works fine with debug builds.

Here is the error I get during the build:

> Executing task: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe -jar c:\Users\Adolio\.vscode\extensions\bowlerhatllc.vscode-nextgenas-0.18.0\bin\asconfigc.jar --sdk c:\AIR\AIR_SDK_32_0 --debug=false --project e:\Development\Air\Starling-Sandbox\asconfig.json <

FYI: In today’s update, VSCode no longer sets -Xmx512m automatically when compiling. This may cause the out of memory error to return. However, you can now pass custom arguments to the Java Virtual Machine when compiling. In your VSCode settings, add the following value to restore the previous behavior:

{
	"as3mxml.asconfigc.jvmargs": "-Xmx512m"
}

@joshtynjala Great. Thanks. I will test it after next update.
