[vscode] Add tips about multiple Git repositories

Browse Source 
When using VS Code and working in multiple Git repositories that are
part of the Chromium repository, if 'src' is the only entry, or listed
first in the workspace configuration, the additional directories are
ignored because of .gitignore entries.

This CL adds a tip for how to work around this, by listing individual
directories that you are editing before in the 'folders' entry in the
workspace configuration file.

#### Editing in multiple Git repositories
If you frequently work in multiple Git repositories that are part of the Chromium repository, you might find that the built-in tooling does not work as expected for files that exist below folders that are part of a `.gitignore` file checked in to Chromium.
To work around this, you can add the directories you edit as separate `folders` entries in your workspace configuration, and ensure that the directories that are ignored in Chromium are listed **before** the Chromium `src` path.
To edit this, go to `Settings` -> Select the `Workspace` tab, and choose to open as JSON (button in the top right), and configure `folders` like this (change paths to match your local setup and usage):
```
{
"folders": [
{
"path": "chromium/src/third_party/perfetto"
},
{
"path": "chromium/src"
}
]
}
```
