Use variant Variables not only in settings.json but also in tasks.json

[WAleemS]

Brief Issue Summary

Using variables like ${variant:buildType} in settings.json works.
For example:
settings.json:
...
,
"cmake.buildDirectory": "${workspaceFolder}/cmake_build/${variant:Target}/${variant:buildType}/GCC_ARM",
...
Using the same Variables in tasks.json does not get substituted:
tasks.json:
...
,
{
"label": "echo",
"type": "shell",
"command": "echo ${variant:Target}"
},
...
Runnign task "echo" just prints ${variant:Target} without substituting the currently selected varaint buildType

Hi!
Any updates on this?
My projects rely on multiple variants and a lot of tasks and it will save me a lot of time in writing and using the tasks.
