Publish the extension on open-vsx.org

[Savio-Sou]

Problem

Microsoft prohibits using Microsoft marketplace with non-Microsoft products.

This means users on non-Microsoft VS Code releases (e.g. VSCodium) can't conveniently install and update VS Code extensions directly from the Microsoft marketplace.

Happy Case

A popular community alternative to the Microsoft marketplace is https://open-vsx.org/.

Publishing the Noir extension on it eases devs' lives to install, update and generally use the Noir extension on non-Microsoft VS Code releases.

Additional Context

The VS Code releases published by Microsoft are built and released under a non-FLOSS license with added Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), rather than under the MIT license that the vscode repo is licensed with.

Given so, devs concerned of e.g. privacy, non-proprietary software, etc. could opt for non-Microsoft VS Code releases.

VSCodium has >1k forks and >24k stars at the moment of creating this Issue for example.
