Support Native Debugging out of the box

[tiehuis]

zn42 on reddit mentioned their process for getting native debugging with breakpoints and the like working in vscode. https://www.reddit.com/r/Zig/comments/cl0x6k/debugging_zig_in_vscode/

This issue is for determining how might be best to implement this in this extension. I think it is fine for us to depend on other extensions for this, and I'd consider this debugging support to be opt-in if so. If we were even just to automate the setup that would go a long way to being more usable for the end-user.

I don't have any specific ideas in mind, and we don't necessarily need to do it the way suggested in the mentioned post, but it provides a good basis.

Anyone have debugging working on windows/vscode ? Would like to learn more about Zig, having option to put in breakpoints would be really helpful.
