Support MS Edge's "edge-enhance-text-contrast" flag

I’ve always avoided Chromium based software because of the blurry font rendering issue that has existed since GDI font rendering support was dropped years ago.

Thankfully, months ago, Microsoft fixed the issue in Chromium Edge with the edge-enhance-text-contrast flag:

Are there any plans to incorporate that fix into VS Code?
