Flake8 more native support

Good day. Thank you for your work with that beautiful plugin and vscode at all.

I newbie with vscode, but I found, that your plugin match only F, W and E error codes. I use a lot of flake8 plugins, which have another letter (or letters) for codes. Have you any plans to support absolutely custom codes, as user want? For example, dict with code: level match:

flake8CategorySeverity: {
    "F": "error",
    "FF": "warning",
    "FOO": "info",
    "BAR": "none",
}

@Niccolum You can see the logic for severity in the linter_server.py, (in the extensions folder). The way it works now is that if you set:

"python.flake8Severity":{
        "W": "Error",
    }

Then it does not know about F, E, or other types of codes. The severity setting literally replaces the look up. If it cannot find anything it uses Error.

def _get_severity(code, codeType, severity):
    value = severity.get(code, None) or severity.get(codeType, "Error")
    try:
        return types.DiagnosticSeverity[value]
    except Exception:
        pass

    return types.DiagnosticSeverity.Error

Here code can take values like (F401, E302, E305), codeType can take values like (F, E, I, T, W), severity is literally what you set in the severity setting. In the above case { "W": "Error", }

the flake8 extension can work with the python extension. By default, it uses flake8 that you have installed in your environment, if that flake8 has plugins it should work. If you don’t have flake8 installed, it will use the bundled flake8. You can also use a path to a flake8 binary if you prefer to use a global flake8.

You may want to disable linting with python extension, or you will see two items for each linting issue.
