Upgrade to VS Code's webview API

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m on the VS Code team. I noticed that your extension uses the vscode.previewHtml command which is deprecated and which we are actively working to remove: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/62630

We’ve developed a webview API that provides a much better developer experience and offers a number of important security and compatibility benefits over previewHtml. We cannot fix previewHtml without breaking backwards compatibility, and have instead opted to remove it.

To ensure that your extension continues to work properly in VS Code, please try upgrading to use the new Webview API. You can find documentation on the API usage here. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this migration

The options objects are immutable but Webview.options is mutable

I started the switch over but am having a bit of a tough go at it. Folks who use this feature with the PowerShell extension expect to be able to run their own personal JavaScript files (not under some extension’s subdir). They tend to put these JS files in a workspace or their home dir. I guess I could inline the JavaScript in the HTML?
