programs.vscode.profiles.<name>.userSettings accepts either JSON settings or a path to a settings.json file. The update-check defaults were merged into userSettings before deciding whether to generate JSON or link a source file, so path values failed when Nix tried to apply // to them.
Skip those merges for path-like values and use the shared isPathLike helper for VS Code's source-or-generated JSON options so Nix paths, store path strings, and derivation outputs are handled consistently.
Fixes#7726
Existing configs setting `programs.vscode.package` to a fork package
(e.g. `pkgs.vscodium`) silently kept evaluating but wrote files to
Visual Studio Code's paths instead of the fork's. Detect known fork
pnames and emit an actionable warning pointing to the dedicated
module.
The `pname` option, previously used with `package = null`, no longer
has any effect since `nameShort`/`dataFolderName` are now factory
arguments. Replace it with `mkRemovedOptionModule` so the migration
fails loudly rather than silently.

Extract the core vscode module logic into a reusable factory function
(mkVscodeModule.nix), following the established mkFirefoxModule pattern.
This is a pure refactor with no behavior change — programs.vscode
retains the same interface.

VS Code 1.102 separates MCP configuration from `settings.json` to a profile-specific `mcp.json`. VS Code automatically performs this separation if MCP configuration is detected inside `settings.json` which conflicts with the immutability of the settings.json that home-manager supplies.
Enables users to provide paths to JSON files for VS Code settings,
tasks, and keybindings. This allows for more flexible configuration
management and reuse of existing configuration files instead of using inline configurations.
Update notification popups are annoying when vscode/vscodium is
managed by Home Manager. However, as these settings also require the
configuration to be managed via `userSettings`, they are disabled by
default.
Adds a new `keybindings` option to the `vscode` configuration.
It contains a list of key bindings, which will be written to
`%vscode-dir%/User/keybindings.json`.
