[Linter] Make `deno lint` work in VScode without deno server

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I wanted to use deno linter instead of eslint in VSCode for the project that is not deno-specific. I run deno lint on my project’s code and the issues it finds are very useful for me, but I hate fixing them from the console, and I would greatly appreciate to see them as… well… lint output in the VSCode. But it seems it does not work 😦 Is it possible to have this functionality in this extension?

My workspace config I tried to use:

{
    "deno.enable": false, // As I don't want to use deno. Deno will not handle imports (standard imports; dependencies defined in package.json)
    "deno.lint": true,
    "eslint.enable": false
}

After restarting VSCode I don’t see any linting messages in VSCode. It looks like deno.enable: false turns extension off.

And screenshot showing that indeed it’s not working:

Describe the solution you’d like

I would love to use deno lint in the VSCode without enabling deno support. It should be possible, because deno lint works fine from the terminal. And I would love to see these warning/errors marks directly in the code

Any way I can help move this along?

Thanks for opinions! That definitely sounds like a good idea.
