problem with c_cpp_properties.json

[mamo5298]

Type: General

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: windows 10 1803
• VS Code Version: 133.0
• C/C++ Extension Version: from 0.22.0
• just as i open vs code a message appears says that there is error when parsing c_cpp_properties.json because of double backslash ended path string, and then intellisense will not work any more, when i edit the json file to avoid the error, the extension will automatically update the file after compiling the project and the problem comes back.
  i am currently working on extension version 0.21.0 where everything is fine but i have to reinstall this version everytime i start vs code because the extension will update automatically to the latest version.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. install c/c++ v0.22.0 or later
2. use c_cpp_properties.json file with \\ ended include or browse path entry, example:
   "C:\\Users\\mm\\Desktop\\Sampler32\\trunk\\common\\",
3. compile or simply open the project which has this file
4. See error

Expected behavior
with the version v0.21.0 the json file works as it is, and everything is fine

Screenshots

Additional context
i am developing an embedded systems project, therefore i am using IAR Embedded extension for compiling, and cortex-debug extension for debugging as well as SVN extension for code syncing.

Sorry about that. We have a fix for our next release: #3453 .

The parse error should be fixed with 0.23.0-insiders.
