Devcontainer for Fedify

[moreal]

🙌🏻 Introduction

Hi, I tried to make devcontainer¹ configuration and you can see here. It does:

• When building(creating) a new container, deno, bun, node, pnpm.
• When attaching to the container, run deno task codegen²
• Same vscode extensions will be installed with .vscode/extensions.json³

🤔 Why not pull request?

I think the devcontainer will be helpful to setup Fedify development environment for new contributors, and use as isolated development environment even for hard contributors. But I don't want to open this as PR, yet.

It is because I'm not sure about the below items:

• ❓ How many people uses devcontainers? If it is not useful, it will be unnecessary item which spends management cost (e.g., package manager version bump).
• ❓ Will it be really helpful for contributors? 🤔

I wonder the opinion of maintainers and other contributors.

Providing a dev container out of box would be a good idea! It would be really useful, especially for first-time contributors.

Also, about management cost: I don't believe it's that expensive—go for it!
