[Prettier][1] is an up-to date code formatter for JavaScript ecosystem.
For settings we rely on [EditorConfig][2] for things like tab style and
size (with added bonus that the code editor with an EditorConfig plugin
does some automated code formatting on file save for you). Unfortunately,
Prettier's Glob handling isn't great:
1. `*.{ts,js,json}` has no effect
2. Similarly, in a list of globs `*.ts,*.js,*.json` only the first glob
has an effect, the rest are ignored.
That's why the file looks the way it does.
The only other setting we change is line width. [Lukas][3] suggested we
use 100 instead of 80, because that's what Rustfmt is using.

feat: Support variable substitution in VSCode settings
Currently support a subset of [variables provided by VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/variables-reference) in `server.extraEnv` section of Rust-Analyzer settings:
* `workspaceFolder`
* `workspaceFolderBasename`
* `cwd`
* `execPath`
* `pathSeparator`
Also, this PR adds support for general environment variables resolution. You can declare environment variables and reference them from other variables like this:
```JSON
"rust-analyzer.server.extraEnv": {
"RUSTFLAGS": "-L${env:OPEN_XR_SDK_PATH}",
"OPEN_XR_SDK_PATH": "${workspaceFolder}\\..\\OpenXR-SDK\\build\\src\\loader\\Release"
},
```
The order of variable declaration doesn't matter, you can reference variables before defining them. If the variable is not present in `extraEnv` section, VSCode will search for them in your environment. Missing variables will be replaced with empty string. Circular references won't be resolved and will be passed to rust-analyzer server process as is.
Closes#9626, but doesn't address use cases where people want to use values provided by `rustc` or `cargo`, such as `${targetTriple}` proposal #11649
