[Therion] Possibly useful scrap creation script and VS Code extension

[Rhys Tyers]

Hello everyone,

**Scrap Bootstrap Script**

I recently made a script that and it was suggested it might be useful for
others. The context is that I am involved in a redrawing exercise where we
have survex data for a large system and separately drawn surveys that we
are now converting into Therion format.

We have converted all the svx files to th and are now going through and
redrawing them. To speed up the start of the drawing I made a script that
takes the centreline data in the `.th` file and creates a `.th2` scrap file
with all of the stations already in a scrap and a 'fake' centerline to draw
around.

Find it here:

Yes, it is a bit hacky :P If there is a better way to do it, please let me
know.

We are using inkscape and the Inkscape therion extension so I don't know if
this is useful for people drawing in the Therion editor.

**VS Code Therion Extension**

I also use VS Code to edit the files so I made a Therion VS Code extension
that includes some basic syntax highlighting, formatting, and also a
command that does the same thing as the aforementioned script.

If anyone wants to use it I'm very happy to take suggestions on additions
and improvements. I'm planning on trying to give it autocomplete next (for
survey/scrap/map names).
