Remove or otherwise constrain .vscode settings directory

Not all users will be using Visual Studio Code, so it's debatable whether we should include a .vscode directory and settings file in our repository as those project defaults may override local settings.

As with everything in life, there are pros and cons to both. I think that for this project we are okay to not include the .vscode directory. Developers using VS Code can refer to other developers using VS Code to get a hold of their preferred settings.json or use their own preferred settings. Developers using other code editors won't need the directory and will have a less cluttered workspace.
