[Feature Request] Customize number of paths per alert

[gsingh93]

The path view seems to show a maximum of four paths per alert, with no option to customize it. Eclipse had an option to customize this: https://help.semmle.com/ql-for-eclipse/Content/WebHelp/preferences.html. I don't see any similar option in the settings for this extension, could an option be added to customize this?

Implementation notes

• Add a maxPaths setting, probably under runningQueries
• Pass that value through to codeql bqrs interpret and codeql database interpret-results using their --max-paths argument.

Thanks for the suggestion! You're right that this option was available in CodeQL for Eclipse and hasn't yet made its way into VS Code. I agree it's something we should provide, and we'll pick this up in the next few weeks.
