delphi README

NOTE: This extension was only built to meet my own demand, and published on the off-chance that it might help someone else. There is now over 5K installations however, and I assume most needs are not met for Delphi development at the current state of the extension. Thus, I encourage you to open a PR for any features you might miss. I will hapily review and add any improvements or features.

Delphi extension to allow full developer tooling for Delphi in VSCode.
