Add own feature index for Dev Containers to settings.json

[dlschmidt]

Currently it is only supported to add features to the public index to appear in the feature creation UI inside of VSCode.

I would want to be able to define additional features in the settings.json. This could corporates encourage to provide their own features which are more tailored to the actual projects or in my case special hardware, but would allow the developer at the same time to use the fancy feature creation UI without making those features public.

Unfortunately the source code for the Dev Containers integration is not open source, because then I would even try to implement it myself.

Would be great if we could use a template index too.

+1, the ability to define custom features that are hosted in-house would be very beneficial to team productivity and further the "your team's development machine anywhere" story.
