TASK DESCRIPTION
  Pywikibot is unable to read my environmental variable 'EDITOR' which is set 
to 'code -w' for VSCode.
  
  I see on editor.py that only a limited number of text editor names are 
supported by the TextEditor class, including kate, vim, emacs, jedit, and 
notepad++. First of all, I would recommend adding Sublime Text and VSCode to 
this list of supported editors. But if only such a limited number of editors 
are supported anyway, it's important to fall back to e.g. tkinter if the 
environmental variable for 'EDITOR' cannot be interpreted. Right now there is 
no fallback if there is any value for "EDITOR", resulting in a 
FileNotFoundError if TextEditor can't interpret that environmental variable.
