Editor encoding inherited from Maven #4416
Description
If we have a Maven project and its POM tag "project.build.sourceEncoding" is different from the editor's default "files.encoding", it would be helpful if VS Code could notify us of this or automatically set the Maven encoding in the "files.encoding" setting of workspace's settings.json file.
Currently I have to check it and change it manually.

Still early development, most of features work, review are welcome, write an issue if you find something that bothers you and I'll try to fix it promptly.
