Add similarity threshold option to Git extension

[Utku Gultopu (ugultopu)]

This pull request implements the feature requested in #178265. Basically, it gives the user an option to configure the similarity threshold in Git, so that even big modifications on a renamed file would correctly show as modifications on a renamed file, instead of being shown as the original file being deleted and a completely new file being added, which makes it very difficult to understand what exactly has been modified.

To test the changes, create a Git repository and create a commit containing a file named test.txt with the following content:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

Open the folder containing the Git repository in Visual Studio Code, rename test.txt to test-new.txt and modify it so that it will become:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6
7
8
9
10

Stage your changes. It should show as if test.txt has been deleted and test-new.txt has been added.

Now, open Visual Studio Code settings, navigate to Extensions -> Git, find the setting named "Similarity Threshold" and set it to 40. Refresh the Source Control view by clicking on the refresh button on it. Now, Source Control view should correctly show test-new.txt as renamed and it should show you the modifications that you have performed on test.txt.
