O3DE Lua Runtime API

VS Code extension for generating LuaLS stubs from O3DE runtime-reflected Lua APIs.

The extension connects to a running O3DE Editor through RemoteTools, reads the same runtime-reflected Lua API data used by the legacy Lua tools, and writes a LuaLS stub file for autocomplete.

Static Gem scanning is intentionally not used as the source of truth because project custom EBuses only exist reliably in the loaded runtime BehaviorContext.
