Description

Added the ability to parse the psakefile.ps1 file, looking for Task definitions. These are then provided for selection, and can be executed via the Integrated Terminal window.

Related Issue

#3

Motivation and Context

Allows the end user to easily "see" the build Tasks that they have available for their current project.

How Has This Been Tested?

Developer tests on my machine, needs much more testing, and comments.

I wonder if we could add a command to psake that could use the PowerShell parser/ast to return the tasks rather than rely on regex's? We could have that command return JSON so it is more easily consumable from the extension.

And there is already a command for that - Get-PSakeScriptTasks. Could call that and pipe to ConvertTo-Json to get output in JSON.
