Description

When creating a new project with micropy init, and the user selects "Pymakr configuration", add PyMakr as a recommended Extension in the VS Code extensions.json file.

Background

I am very new to micropy (and micropython in general), so my apologies if I am missing something really obvious as to why this is a dumb request.

I am writing a short guide for a teenage nephew, so he can quickly get started in MicroPython on the ESP32, and I want minimum steps possible to get him up and running. MicroPy-cli is looking like a superb way to get started quickly. Hopefully my suggestion would mean one less step :)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the micropy init command code to understand how it generates project files. Then add a step to create a .vscode/extensions.json file with a recommendation for the pymakr extension.
