Copy selected lines with line numbers and optional file path—ready to paste into issues, reviews, and chat.

Changes in this fork (kyto64)
- Renamed to Line Ref Copy (
line-ref-copy, publisher kyto64) for separate Marketplace identity.
- Command IDs
lineRefCopy.* and setting lineRefCopy.showSuccessMessage.
- Clipboard via
vscode.env.clipboard (multi-byte text and remote-friendly).
- Editor context menu: With Relative Path when text is selected.
- Multi-root–aware relative paths (
getWorkspaceFolder).
- ESLint, GitHub Actions CI, rulesync-based contributor docs, and
@vscode/test-electron integration tests.
Commands
Run from the Command Palette (all variants). With Relative Path is also on the editor context menu when text is selected (right-click).
