detect package manager and offer commands using the correct one

[mnbf9rca]

I'm using Yarn, which, since v2, offers yarn dlx as an equivalent of npx. The scripts and VS Code plugin should recognise the package manager in use and format commands to use the correct one.

Not sure how to go about this. @mnbf9rca, any ideas?

I haven’t looked in detail but perhaps these have pointers to which api exposes the information? microsoft/vscode-eslint#1646 prettier/prettier-vscode#1700

I know of two ways:

1. The antfu/ni package does this by checking the lock file's presence (yarn.lock for yarn, pnpm-lock.yaml for pnpm and package-lock.json for npm.)
2. I created a small task runner that checks the packageManager field in package.json since I am using corepack.
