Description
The text definition/manipulation we use to scaffold files (e.g. Docker files) is...not pretty. It'd be nice to move to a proper templating engine to get the inline strings into separate files and stop cluttering up the actual scaffolding logic.
I don't have a huge preference on any particular template engine; we're using Handlebars in another extension and it seems to work reasonably well.

Goal
I would like to be able to add additional languages as well as customize existing languages for my development workflows without having to submit a PR to update the extension.
Currently
The supported languages are fixed and new customizations need to be redeployed within a future version of this extension.
Possible Solution
Extend the extension to allow users to add their own templates to a designated directory that would get picked up and displayed within VS Code when one uses Docker Add command.
