Subject: [PATCH] Add a VS Code task to run `sync-files.py`

If you're developing one of the libraries that has muiltiple copies auto-generated by `sync-files.py`, you can now run `sync-files.py --latest` by going to the `Terminal | Run Task...` menu in VS Code and selecting the `Sync Identical Files` task. You can set a keyboard binding to run this task for quicker access.
