Extend DAP to allow debug main/current/specific scene

Rider integration https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-115995

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

I want to provide ability to Debug not only Main scene from Rider.
Do I understand correctly that I need to pass additional parameter with launch request and in addition to play_main_scene also call play_current_scene and even specific scene?

Would such a pull request be accepted?

[van800]

So I am thinking, client would pass either nothing specific and main scene would run, or client would pass "res://pathToSomeSpecificScene.tscn" and a specific scene would run.

@rsubtil any objection, if you have?

[rsubtil]

Sounds good! I can only have a better look at this likely tomorrow, but the launch request is highly specific to each language/framework, so it should definitely support more features. We currently have support for debugging on native platforms (Android/Web), so this is easily doable.

We should also start documenting these configurations so that plugins relying on DAP know how to access Godot specific features.

This will be a significant upgrade for rider and other external editor, greatly enhancing usability for godot engine.
