[css] Custom aliases in CSS file resolution

[mechite]

Please read from tsconfig/jsconfig to resolve SCSS modules. My suggestion to make this reliable is to simply only allow the import aliases to work inside of an aliased directory, and in every subfolder starting from the tsconfig/jsconfig as the root, so that we can theoretically open huge projects with weird build settings and have a sane default for it. The tsconfig/jsconfig essentially define majority of these weird quirks such as these path aliases for the entire IDE, and we should just stick to allowing this to continue even if it "makes no sense" to read from these files for what is "just SCSS".

If this won't be supported, we could at least make it possible to define these aliases in the .vscode settings.json and then use those paths across the IDE as the standard. No matter what though, we need these path aliases as for large projects not being able to jump to the definition of an imported module is very annoying.

I'm not opposed to put aliases in the settings. If you want to work on a PR for this, I'm happy to point to to where the changes need to be made.

I am happy to work on a PR for it however I'm not very familiar with VSCode as I've never submitted a change before. If I figure things out in my free time, I'll submit a patch and link it here for review, otherwise expect indefinite silence from me if I don't.

This could and should apply to CSS in general, with native @import and other preprocessors like less or stylus, maybe it just works in every language and this can simply just be a long mapping of aliases for paths, relative to a directory starting from the open folder containing .vscode.
