Rust-analyzer: VsCode: generate configuration for debugging

[yoshuawuyts]

This is a feature request. VS Code has built-in support for debugging through CodeLLDB and VS Code cpptools. These extensions can generate configuration for launch.json through a menu that looks like this:

Getting the configuration right for Rust projects is a bit of a tricky one, with some nuance on how to properly target binaries, libraries, and tests across all major platforms. Since rust-analyzer is providing a premier Rust experience in VS Code, this might be an interesting feature to add.

Isn't this the domain of vscode-lldb extension?

nope, to run a test you need to know what a test is, and, with macros, only
rust-analyzer can really know that.

https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/pull/4366 already has the code to generate launch configurations, so I'll start work on this issue.
