Install VSCodium only, and remove VS Code
shellcheck / shellcheck (push) Successful in 10s

New machines get VSCodium alone. A migration uninstalls the VS Code
Flatpak once on existing machines; its settings stay in ~/.var/app. The
README says how to install VS Code for extensions only Microsoft's
marketplace has, such as Remote-SSH; update then leaves it alone.
