UI is not started if makefile.buildLog is provided

[cetygamer]

If makefile.buildLog option is provided, extension does not activate UI (icon in the side bar) and does not register most commands.

Only commands available in such case:

Debug extension log (I stripped IntelliSense configuration and parsing of make output):

@cetygamer, yes we found this after 0.3.1 and it will be fixed with 0.4.0 (soon).

#256

In the meantime, you can manually run "Makefile: Configure" from the VSCode commands pallette or you can install manually a vsix (downloaded from here) which contains the fix. Use "Install from vsix" context menu of "..." in the extensions left side tab.

@cetygamer, we released Makefile Tools 0.4.0 today which contains the fix for this issue and also worth noting, localization support. If you happen to use VSCode language packs, give Makefile Tools a try in your preferred language.
Let us know if you encounter any issues: with the translated strings, any other bugs or if you have any feedback for the future of this extension.
