Mention v symlink in the repository and VSCode Extension README files #107

Description

@Khauri

Describe the feature

This mostly helps when a user installs v on macos via homebrew

When you install vlang through homebrew on mac the vroot tends to be something like /opt/homebrew/Cellar/vlang/<version>/bin which v-analyzer isn't able to find.

One could also add this path as the custom_vroot but it's likely to change whenever you update v.

It would be nice if the docs mentioned the command v symlink, which symlinks the v executable to a more common location.

v-analyzer seems to find the binary and standard library just fine once this is done.

Use Case

It wasn't immediately clear to me how to get v-analyzer to work and a section in the documentation would likely help others here as well
