📄 Description

Following up on #540, I found another couple of @tag:usesOnlineServices settings whose descriptions incorrectly (in VSCodium) state, "The updates are fetched from a Microsoft online service": extensions.autoCheckUpdates and extensions.autoUpdate. Figured I may as well add a similar note about these settings.

Here's the new version of the section, the name of which I've changed from "VSCodium Update API" to "Replacements for Microsoft Online Services":

Replacements to Microsoft Online Services

When searching the @tag:usesOnlineServices filter, note that while the "Update: Mode" setting description still says "The updates are fetched from a Microsoft online service", VSCodium's build script sets the updateUrl field in product.json to that of VSCodium's own small update server, so enabling that setting won't actually result in any calls to Microsoft servers.

Likewise, while the descriptions for "Extensions: Auto Check Updates" and "Extensions: Auto Update" include the same phrase, VSCodium replaces the Visual Studio Marketplace with Open VSX, so these settings won't call Microsoft, either.

---

Also, while I was at it, I adjusted the formatting of the extensionsGallery JSON code block a little farther down to give it syntax highlighting and align it with the list item it accompanies.
