ide rework again

- `VirtualBox-Wrapper.ps1` now takes 'up' or 'down' as opposed to a machine name. This allows start/stop of a virtualmachine.
- `VirtualBox-Wrapper.ps1` now relies on a gitignored `localenv.json` to work.
- `VirtualBox-Wrapper.ps1` can also optionally monitor the log file generated from the serial adapter in VirtualBox.
- `readme.md` updated to provide instructions on how to populate the `localenv.json` file.
- `tasks.json` updated to have a "Clean" task to --remove-orphans, the Build task depends on this.
- `tasks.json` updated to have a "Close VirtualBox" task, this runs the `virtualbox-wrapper.ps1` in 'down' mode. The Build task depends on this.
- `launch.json` updated to run the `VirtualBox-Wrapper.ps1` with the "-Command up" argument, instead of machine name.
- .gitignore updated to ignore any instances of `localenv.json`.

     This will allow VSCode to automatically launch VirtualBox once Asuro has been compiled.
+    
+    You can also enable the serial adapter "COM1" in mode "Raw File", give it a path, and provide this path in the `localenv.json` as follows:
+    ```json
+    {
+        "VirtualBox" : {
+            "MachineName": "<YOUR_UUID_OR_MACHINE_NAME>",
+            "LogLocation": "Fully\\Qualified\\Path\\To\\Your\\Log\\File"
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+    This will allow you to see the console output from Asuro in your host terminal.
 13. Open your project folder in VSCode, use CTRL+SHIFT+B to build & F5 to build + run in VBox.
 14. Congratulations! You can now play with Asuro!
 
-### Gotchas
+### Notes & Gotchas
+- The above process has been updated to be compatible with VirtualBox 7+, in which VBoxSDL was removed and vboxmanage should be used in its place. A small wrapper powershell script is used to achieve this.
 - It was noted that Windows builds above `20H2` seem to have issues installing WSL2. We may have to wait for a patch from Microsoft to fix this. Our devs are currently using build `20H2`.
