Publish extension to Open VSX Registry #33

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In a nutshell: this extension is unavailable when using VSCodium, and using the VSCode marketplace is legally questionable.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please publish this extension on the Open VSX registry to make it available to more people. This would include VSCodium users, but also code-server (VSCode in the browser) and a handful of other similar projects.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, Microsoft's Marketplace Terms of Use restrict extensions to official Visual Studio products only. This creates a legal grey area for users of these alternative editors who want to use your extension. And while Microsoft doesn't actively persue users who ignore this legality, I can imagine users might be reluctant to it, especially in enterprise environments.

Additional context
The Eclipse Foundation documentation provides clear instructions
You can set up automated publishing via GitHub Actions (see this guide)
It's compatible with your existing .vsix files - no code changes needed
