chore(deps): pin @types/vscode to engines.vscode via dependabot ignore

[FROWNINGdev]

Problem

Dependabot PR #89 (@types/vscode 1.125.0 → 1.134.0) fails the build job:

##[error] @types/vscode ^1.134.0 greater than engines.vscode ^1.85.0.
Either upgrade engines.vscode or use an older @types/vscode version

vsce package treats @types/vscode as a declaration of the minimum API surface the extension compiles against, so it must never exceed engines.vscode.

Why not just bump engines.vscode

That would make the extension uninstallable on every VS Code older than 1.134 — a real compatibility loss traded for a dev-only type package. The types are the side that should stay pinned.

Change

Add @types/vscode to the npm ignore: list in .github/dependabot.yml, with no update-types filter, so all version updates are held. It now moves only by hand, in the same commit that raises engines.vscode.

Follows the existing precedent in this file (typescript majors, python base-image minors).

Follow-up

PR #89 is closed as won't-fix — Dependabot will not reopen it once this lands.
