Fixes dotnet#93 There are currently three ways to open the help link for a diagnostic: 1. Click the link in the Error List when the diagnostic is reported. 2. Open the rule set editor, enable online help, and select the rule. 3. Select the diagnostic in Solution Explorer, and copy the link from the Properties window. None of these is particularly discoverable. This change adds another option, a "View Help" menu item that shows up when you right-click on a diagnostic in Solution Explorer.

The related .vsct file is not in the repository yet, so that will go out as a separate code review. |

No, it does not. We don't even show the menu item unless the diagnostic specifies a help link.
I could do this, however. I would rename the menu item to "View/Find Help..." and show it all the time; if no help link is specified we would fall back to a Bing search.

Fixes #93
There are currently three ways to open the help link for a diagnostic:
the Properties window.
None of these is particularly discoverable. This change adds another
option, a "View Help" menu item that shows up when you right-click on a
