Summary:
This is a second attempt at https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/51214. It should achieve the same goals with (as far as I can tell) no disadvantages, but the advantages are a bit less pronounced than in the more dictatorial approach that https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/51214 took:
- Unfortunately, I was unable to figure out how to include [the `mypy` configuration given in the docstring of `tools.mypy_wrapper.main`](7115a4b870/tools/mypy_wrapper.py (L81-L89)), because as walterddr pointed out, `"${env:HOME}/miniconda3/envs/pytorch/bin/python"` is not guaranteed to be correct on everyone's machine:
```json
{
"python.linting.enabled": true,
"python.linting.mypyEnabled": true,
"python.linting.mypyPath": "${env:HOME}/miniconda3/envs/pytorch/bin/python",
"python.linting.mypyArgs": [
"${workspaceFolder}/tools/mypy_wrapper.py"
]
}
```
Importantly, this does not work:
```json
"python.linting.mypyPath": "${workspaceFolder}/tools/mypy_wrapper.py"
```
This is because VS Code does not run the given `mypy` command inside of the user's specified virtual environment, so for instance, on my system, setting the `mypy` command to directly call `tools/mypy_wrapper.py` results in using `mypy 0.782` instead of the correct `mypy 0.812`.
Sadly, [this](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/variables-reference#_configuration-variables) does not work either, although I'm not sure why:
```json
{
"python.linting.mypyPath": "${config:python.pythonPath}",
"python.linting.mypyArgs": [
"${workspaceFolder}/tools/mypy_wrapper.py"
]
}
```
- As a result, `git clean -fdx; tools/vscode_settings.py` still results in some loss of useful configuration.
One other thing to note: as `.vscode/settings_recommended.json` shows, there are some configuration sections that only take effect within the context of a `"[language]"`, so currently, if a dev already has one of those settings, it would be entirely overwritten by `tools/vscode_settings.py` rather than a graceful merge. This could probably be fixed by using a deep merge instead of the current shallow merge strategy.

Test Plan:
If you want, you can typecheck the small script added by this PR (no output is expected):
```sh
tools/mypy_wrapper.py $PWD/tools/vscode_settings.py
```
You can also try running it to update your own VS Code workspace settings:
```sh
tools/vscode_settings.py
```
This should have minimal impact on your existing `tools/settings.json` file other than enabling the few explicitly recommended settings (e.g. it should not reorder or remove any of your existing settings).
