Ansible role: vscode

Ansible role to install Visual Studio Code on Linux.

Requirements

The role doesn't have any requirements, however the gpg binary must be installed on Debian-based systems for the installation to succeed, since it is used in the package post-install script.

In order to avoid using the command or shell modules and break idempotence, this role downloads the gpg key in /etc/apt/keyrings/ without de-armoring it on Debian-based systems. The key in this format can only be used by SecureApt in version 1.4 or later (which appeared in stretch), as stated here.
