debugger: continueOnAttach

When attaching to a whole bunch of different kinds of apps via a debug adapter, the debugger always starts a break point state where users needs to continue so it hits the user defined breakpoint. Would be great to have “continueOnAttach” in debugger config.

        {
            "name": "Nodejs Attach",
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "port": 9229,
            "smartStep": true,
            "continueOnAttach": true
        },

this would mean when I start node in --inspect-brk mode like node --inspect-brk node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js. I can simply hit F5 to start debugging and land on the breakpoint. Because 99.9% of the time when the debugger connects I just want it to continue.

Testers, to verify:

• Create a pwa-node attach launch config. Start some Node script with node --inspect-brk script.js
• Verify when you connect you’re paused on the first line.
• Modify the launch config to add continueOnAttach: true, and restart the script
• Verify that the program continues execution once you connect and you are not paused.

Yeah, that makes sense
