Support gdefault option

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using the :s command, I frequently want to replace all instances of a pattern on a line.

Describe the solution you'd like
In Vim, I would set gdefault in my .vimrc. However, doing the same thing in this extension does not appear to work.

There's a setting within the VSCodeVim preferences that enables that behavior: vim.substituteGlobalFlag. You can find it through the default VSCode preferences: user settings window.

verbatim from the README:

Setting	Description	Type	Default Value
vim.substituteGlobalFlag	Similar to Vim's gdefaultsetting. /g flag in a substitute command replaces all occurrences in the line. Without this flag, replacement occurs only for the first occurrence in each line. With this setting enabled, the g is on by default.	Boolean	false

Thanks, that works for now. I am curious why this extension doesn't recognize gdefault directly.

Looks like they only support a subset https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim#vim-settings

Hm, that's confusing. We should probably consolidate these two configurations or rename substituteGlobalFlag to gdefault.

As of the next release, substituteGlobalFlag will be deprecated in favor of gdefault
