Changed
    - Device Simulator settings gear now opens the VS Code extension settings (extension) or the global settings modal (standalone).

    - Initialize Project manifest URL is now configured via the settings modal instead of the inline settings panel.

Fixed
    - Fixed Device Simulator not appearing in the VS Code extension launcher due to a trailing comma in tools.json causing JSON.parse to fail and fall back to a hardcoded list that excluded it.
