JPEG-2000 Preview in VSCode

Simple preview for JPEG 2000 (.jp2, .j2k) files in VSCode. The extension replicates the same image pan and zoom behaviour as VSCode's built-in Image Editor. Like the Image Editor, the status bar is used to report the size of the file on disk, the image dimensions in pixels, and the current zoom level.
