Feature Request: Support vault_password_file via ansible.cfg

[mdlnr]

When using an ansible.cfg file which contains a setting for a default vault_password_file the extension always asks for a password. Leaving this empty will result in an error.

• The extension should check if the ansible.cfg contains a default setting for a vault_password_file
• The file referenced in ansible.cfg can be defined with an absolute path or relative to the location of the ansible.cfg
• The extension should not ask for a password when the setting is defined in ansible.cfg and the referenced file exists

@tjacoby I've written another ansible-vault plugin for viewing vaults that resolves the password in the way you've described. It does not support editing yet, so for that vscode-ansible-vault is the way to go :)

@tjacoby That's absolutely is a nice feature but I haven't worked on this project for a while.
Need a bit of time to setup the env thingy. Will implement it very soon 👍

@tjacoby I've published 0.1.0 on VSCode marketplace, could you test on it? Thanks!
