…TiDB from VS Code extensions tab
First-time contributors' checklist
What is changed, added or deleted? (Required)
I added a method of installing the SQLTools MySQL/MariaDB/TiDB extension directly from VS Code's extensions tab. The existing methods do not cover this, despite it being a common way to add extensions among developers.
The new method involves clicking on the extensions tab within VS Code, entering the extension's name, and selecting the extension from the displayed search result. I compressed the instructions into two short sentences.
Which TiDB version(s) do your changes apply to? (Required)
Tips for choosing the affected version(s):
By default, CHOOSE MASTER ONLY so your changes will be applied to the next TiDB major or minor releases. If your PR involves a product feature behavior change or a compatibility change, CHOOSE THE AFFECTED RELEASE BRANCH(ES) AND MASTER.
For details, see tips for choosing the affected versions.
