This commit adds telemetry capturing for command execution. The data
captured explicitly captured and sent to application insights is only
the command id, execution time, and command completion status. We also
capture errors thrown by any command execution, but these are not sent
to application insights.
Telemetry capturing is opt-in. No data will be sent to application
insights unless the user explicitly allows it.
There are two new config settings added. The first controls whether or
not telemetry should be sent. This setting AND the global telemetry setting
must be enabled in order for telemetry to be sent.
The second setting controls whether or not telemetry event data should
be logged to the extension console. The hope here is that users can
inspect exactly what data is sent to the server and can have confidence
that nothing concerning is being leaked.
Note that the global setting for disabling telemetry collection is
handled inside the `vscode-extension-telemetry` package implicitly, so
this extension doesn't touch that setting explicitly.
The `codeql.canary` setting is being used to add an additional flag to
telemetry events. This flag will help us determine if a user in internal
or not.
The application insights key is injected at build time through a
repository secret.
This commit also includes a new `TELEMETRY.md` file that explains what
is being captured, and why.
I have already pushed `main` upstream pointing at the same commit as
master, so this PR should be safe to merge. To the best of my
knowledge all that's necessary after that is to change the
default branch
in https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/settings/branches.
