VS extension v1.0.0

I've created the first version of the Excel-DNA Developer Tools extension:

It includes C# and VB project templates:

Creating a project from a template includes exceldna.addin and exceldna.integration packages, SayHello sample function and XML schemas:

XML schemas are added to the project only if they are not installed in the global schema cache.

Implementation details:

1. To detect installed schemas at runtime, I've implemented IWizard project creation interface. We can add UI to it to offer project creation options.

2. I haven't found any API to check installed schemas and just check corresponding files existence in the %VSInstallDir%\xml\Schemas directory and the localized directory (like 1033).

3. The extension includes specific versions of exceldna.addin.1.1.1.nupkg and exceldna.integration.1.1.0.nupkg. Documentation says it is the best practice: "This prevents package updates from breaking the template, leaving the choice to update the package to the developer using the template."
