Allow extensions to handle launching of the debug adapter. #8645

@vadimcn

Description

@vadimcn

It would be nice if extensions could be in the loop when launching the debug adapter sub-process:

  • This would allow the extension to alter adapter's command line options depending on workspace configuration and/or pass the relevant bits of configuration to the adapter.
  • In cases when adapter is implemented on top of system debugger, this would allow the extension to locate a proper binary (for example, lldb could be installed as lldb.X.Y on some systems).
  • Extension could provide better error messages should the adapter exit abnormally.
