[Proposal] Rename displayed name from 'vscode-icons' to 'VSCode Icons'

See original GitHub issue

displayName is the display name for the extension used in the Marketplace, see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/extension-manifest#_fields and https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/extension-manifest#_example. So I think to use VSCode icons should be used to instead of vscode-icons in displayName. For me, vscode-icons is only an extensions name. I can see you use VSCode Icons to Preferences: File Icon Theme:

BTW, other File Icon Themes often don’t use name for displayName.

In addition, I favor removing preview tag, VSCode Icons is good enough to use. Move over from: https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons/pull/1231#discussion_r143550280 cc @robertohuertasm @JimiC @jens1o

Because @robertohuertasm was the first to add file/folder icons in vscode before this even was a thing. And this is how he wanted to name it. If you sit down and really think of it, it’s really a trivial thing. And I do understand you. O.C.D. is a bitch. I fight with it too.

I kinda have O.C.D. too but sometimes it’s a valid thing 😃 take look at this:

all of them follow a naming convention and it’s good to keep things clean, and definitely, it feels clean and in sync with others, maybe people are aware of it unconsciously too.
