Documenting pixi and vscode integration

[lvjonok]

Hello Pinocchio Team!

I am glad that this project is getting easier to build in predictive manner with pixi tool.

I wonder whether it will be appropriate to extend development/build.md with section about integration of this tool to widely used VSCode. I have searched for some time and found ongoing issue by Silvio Traversaro. However there is not elegant, but working solution:

Pixi setup for vscode

To conveniently use Pixi with Visual Studio Code for IntelliSense, you can configure direnv.

Then, after moving to directory with pinocchio environment variables will be updated and running code from terminal will make IntelliSense work properly.

I hope that this note can be helpful for users and possible contributors.

Hello @lvjonok,

You can create a PR to add these instructions and I think development/build.md is the right file to modify.
You can add a subsection under # Build and install from source with Pixi.

Also, did you try this VScode extension : https://github.com/direnv/direnv-vscode ?
I'm not a VScode user, so I don't know if this is useful.
