Support Open Folder

See original GitHub issue

Currently in Visual Studio 2017, when you open a folder we don’t have a great Python experience. We should raise this to as-good-as the current project-based experience.

This task will be considered complete when projects are only required for tasks that are inherently MSBuild related, and the experience is equivalent to having a .pyproj containing all the project-related files visible in the workspace.

Tasks remaining:

#1780 manage environments without a project
read/write IntelliSense configuration to JSON file
complete debugging configuration in JSON file
launch browser when debugging from JSON file
launch standalone scripts with correct configuration
launch tools (linters, mypy, etc.) in directory
detect and launch unit tests without a project
build via setup.py when available

Most of these have been implemented, except for launching tools and building setup.py. I’ll close this and we can implement the others if there is demand.
