Subject: vscode: only overwrite C/C++ settings

The C/C++ settings are special, as they are the only generated VS Code
configurations that *will* change over the course of Git's development,
e.g. when a new constant is defined.

Therefore, let's only update the C/C++ settings, also to prevent user
modifications from being overwritten.

Ideally, we would keep user modifications in the C/C++ settings, but
that would require parsing JSON, a task for which a Unix shell script is
distinctly unsuited. So we write out .new files instead, and warn the
user if they may want to reconcile their changes.
