Use Ninja generator in workspace

Why

I use Visual Studio for most C/C++ projects, for historical reasons, and CMake: Configure will use Visual Studio generators by default.

And for some new created project, whose compilation is way too long, I use Ninja. It takes only 10 seconds for that switch, by specify Ninja as generator in current workspace's setting.

How-to

In command palette, type:

>Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON)

Then in the opened file, the .vscode/settings.json, write this:

{
    "cmake.generator": "Ninja"
}

Then, build it like before:

>CMake: Configure

or:

>CMake: Delete Cache and Reconfigure
