Include VSIX file in each GitHub Release

See original GitHub issue

As in most of microsoft/vscode-* GitHub repos, it is a good practice to include the respective .vsix file in it. For example, microsoft/vscode-python does exactly that.

Why? Because it saves (tons of) time if someone wants to install an old version of the extension and test something. Also, due to backward compatibility with VSCode, installing an old version of the extension is desired sometimes.

This is something that maybe requires 2-3 hours of “doing time”, and there’s the potential of many people benefiting from it.
