Add context menu to copy path as Rascal source location from explorer view

[toinehartman]

Closes #106

[DavyLandman]

As this goes a bit against the VS Code UX guidelines to not "Show actions for every file without context" I would like to:

• can we get it after Copy Relative Path?
• make sure we use similar capitalization as VS Code does
• ask if @jurgenvinju agrees with adding this global addition
• review the name of the menu item, I think it should at least mention rascal in there, to let people know where this came from. For example: Copy Path as Rascal Location?

Updated, as per @DavyLandman his suggestions:

@jurgenvinju what do you think of this feature?

[toinehartman]

The groups are document here: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/contribution-points#Sorting-of-groups I determined the position 21 is the first position that places this item directly beneath `Copy Relative Path` (which probably has index 20). I think `Copy Path` has index 10, and they left some room in between. I don't think we get many guarantees about this order otherwise, since other extensions could contribute menu items here as well.

Ah right, it's a pitty JSON doesn't allow for comments.

1. I really missed this feature from Eclipse. So great! Especially when analyzing Java or C++ or Ada code or whatever, this is handy.
2. Add command to create rascal location from selection #283 is very related and also very useful in a similar way, perhaps now that we have this code fresh we can merge @linuswagner's code as well?

[DavyLandman]

Yes, but #283 is more complex, due to the different offsets/columns between VS Code and rascal. Let's pick that up at a later point.
