Local debugging in VS Code fails after app restart

Repro steps:

1. Start a PowerShell Function app in VS Code by F5.
2. Wait for the app to start. Invoke a function or do not invoke any function - does not seem to matter.
3. Stop the app: hit the Disconnect button or push Ctrl-C in the terminal.
4. Start the app again by F5. About 2-5 seconds after the app start, it stops and the following message appears in the terminal window: Debug-Runspace: You cannot debug the default host Runspace using this cmdlet. To debug the default Runspace use the normal debugging commands from the host.

Further attempts to start the app fail with the same error, until VS Code is restarted.

Tried it out and I can repro on the latest func cli, but not on v3.0.2798. We changed (cc @pragnagopa) the message indicating when VS Code could attach the debugger to a debug-specific message (“Worker process started and initialized”) that was supposed to be more reliable than the old/arbitrary message we were using (“Host lock lease acquired by instance ID”). I would guess this is a timing problem and for some reason the new message is printed too early for us to attach, but I have no idea how this PowerShell stuff works under the covers or what could be happening during the time between messages

Here are two workarounds in the meantime:

1. Downgrade to v3.0.2798
2. Modify your .vscode/tasks.json to use the old message:

   {
     "version": "2.0.0",
     "tasks": [
       {
         "type": "func",
         "command": "host start",
         "problemMatcher": {
           "base": "$func-watch",
           "background": {
             "activeOnStart": true,
             "beginsPattern": "^.*(Job host stopped|signaling restart).*$",
             "endsPattern": "^.*Host lock lease acquired by instance ID.*$"
           }
         },
         "isBackground": true
       }
     ]
   }

This is happening to me @AnatoliB after upgrading to Core Tools 3.0.2881 Runtime 3.0.14287.0 Powershell Worker 3.0.293 using the Attach to Powershell Functions in VSCode

Also nothing works at the debug prompt in the integrated console (7.0.3), every command just hangs until I step but the command never evaluates. Watch variables still work though
