Expose debug status

See original GitHub issue

I’ve made an extension that puts a debugger into the statusbar, in order to workaround a year-old issue with the default floating debugger widget (#2513 #9093) but I cannot quite make it work perfectly because there’s no API for getting the status of the debugger.

In order to do that it would be necessary to know:

if a debug session is currently active
when it started/stopped
if code execution is paused

A decent, and maybe more general, starting point might be to expose the switches used in keybindings under the when key, like inDebugMode for instance.

What do you think?

@weinand Information about compound debugging should be exposed as well, I’ve got an issue about it (https://github.com/fabiospampinato/vscode-statusbar-debugger/issues/4) which I cannot fix without it.

Can you provide an estimate for when this issue will be resolved?
