Allow disablement via VSCode settings

[NickTracker]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I go to a different repo that is missing a standards xml I get a bunch of errors in my IDE saying that Apex PMD can't find the standards.xml path which is provided in the "apexPMD.rulesets" property of settings.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like a way to disable the extension via the command pallette.

GIVEN I'm a VSCode user
WHEN I type cmd+shift+p
  AND I type "disable pmd"
THEN I see an action to disable PMD
  AND I see an action to enable PMD
  AND selecting either option disables/enables respectively

Both of these projects are sfdx projects, one of them doesn't have the xml standards in them. The other feature request is asking that PMD skips running in non-sfdx projects.

Hi @NickTracker,

From looking at your initial problem description, it sounds like you have some customized PMD rule set standards.xml file stored in some particular Project1 project's folder:

• Project1/pmdRulesets/standards.xml file

And you have conigured your ApexPMD to use that file in your User settings:

• "ApexPMD.rulesets": "./pmdRulesets/standards.xml".

If this is a project-specific ruleset file, you can set this configuration on your Workspace settings rather than User settings - then it only applies when you run ApexPMD from your Project1 workspace/folder.

These workspace-specific configs are written into the Project1/.vscode/settings.json file, e.g.:

{
    "apexPMD.rulesets": [
        "./.pmd-temp/quickstart_securityOnly.xml"
    ]
}

Interesting, thank you! I will try today and report back.
