Feature Request: support setting loadPath

[aztack]

Since some package managers like pnpm do not create node_modules in the root directory of the project, simply replacing "~" in the import url with the workspace path would not work. (see

vscode-live-sass-compiler/src/SassCompileHelper.ts

Line 21 in a44ef47

const workingPath = [workspace.workspaceFolders[i].uri.fsPath, "node_modules"]

).

A brutal yet simple solution would be providing a means to configure the load path in.vscode/settings.json. For example

  "liveSassCompile.settings.loadPaths": [
    "packages/some-package/node_modules"
  ]

And replace "~" with the workspace root path plus all loadPaths and use the first one that exists.

I was actually about to write a proposal to address the use of ~ - though not for this reason

From dart-sassv1.71, SASS started supporting the pkg: importer when using a specific importer^[ref] (not yet implemented in Live SASS)

As long as my understanding is correct, it will allow you to use pkg: instead of ~ and it "could load packages from various different package managers"

I will write the proposal soon (maybe tonight) and reference this issue.

Also good news, I had another idea for CI builds that will be available on VS Code as a pre-release. This means when the change is ready you can start using it almost straight away
