Using "Launch target" doesn't allow reading files from the project root due to weird cwd

[nonk123]

Brief Issue Summary

Clicking "Launch target" runs the resulting executable with cwd = build/Debug. This means it cannot access e.g. the assets folder in the project root, which is a major inconvenience when multiple people are working on the same project and have to be instructed on copying that directory manually.

I haven't been able to find a cross-platform way to automate this besides using a file(COPY ...) hack or modifying the extension config, but it just feels wrong. Is there a different solution that works with the stock settings.json so anybody could just jump right in?
