migration to electron 7 for insiders

[ghost]

done.

"electron 7" in vscode. assuming its the preferred instead of beta releases of electron.

saw #83930, but there was no companion issue.

main benefit seems to be electron/electron#20789, in addition to usual updates.

i would test but multiple reasons just make me avoid it, even before I get to other issues.

• the yarn requirement being one of them. its the only blocker.
  if you have to use different tools, try deno https://deno.land/ , it can simplify stuff except it also lags in dependencies.

also would it be easier to migrate to electron 8 as its not stable yet? and it also would save the time spent on migrating to electron 7 as its already stable.

please tag this as question.

from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues
can it be installed using scoop? that would be great.
