Ben Jackson 269d09b73e Very basic support for launch configuration 
This change refactors the way we launch the job and puts it all in an
internal namespace. Having done that, we are able to launch the job from
the python side. This allows us to neatly load a json file, simlar in
format to .vscode's launch.json, but sufficiently different that users
won't just expect the launch.json to work.

This change allows selecting between 2 different adapters to debug the
same c program.

vimspector - A multi language debugger for Vim

Status

This is a work in progress. It barely functions.

About

The motivation is that debugging in Vim is a pretty horrible experience, particularly if you use multiple languages. With pyclewn no more and the built-in termdebug plugin limited to gdb, I wanted to explore options.

While Language Server Protocol is well known, the Debug Adapter Protocol is less well known, but achieves a similar goal: language agnostic API abstracting debuggers from clients.

The aim of this project is to provide a simple but effective debugging experience in Vim for multiple languages, by leveraging the debug adapters that are being built for VScode.

The ability to do remote debugging is a must. This is key to my workflow, so baking it in to the debugging experience is a top bill goal for the project.
