Adds a total installs badge next to the existing ones, in the same style (flat-square, 1f2328). It shows the Marketplace and Open VSX installs added up, updated daily by ExtPulse, and links to the public page.

The badge goes through shields.io's endpoint badge (img.shields.io/endpoint?url=...), because vsce only accepts README badges from services it trusts. The JSON it reads comes from ExtPulse (/p/mccprogrammer/extensions/1/badge.json).

  • Merge order: merge this after ExtPulse PR #35 is deployed. Until then the badge shows as invalid.
  • Marketplace: the README there changes with the next publish; GitHub shows it straight away.

Served by ExtPulse through shields.io, which the Marketplace accepts in READMEs.
