Max File Loading Size

With current release 1.15, the file size limit has been lifted on the 64bit releases of VSCode.

On the 32bit variants, the file size limit has been raised to 300 MB. Files over 20MB or with more than 300k lines will be treated especially, and some of the features will be turned off for them (e.g. tokenization, word wrapping, etc.) in order to save memory.
