Debug custom targets, and a Docker image to build and develop in
Build / build (pull_request) Successful in 9m40s

- 🐞 on a custom target without an executable set debugs the program its
  command runs, as the build system has it (Ninja's edge, a Makefile's
  recipe): its arguments, directory and cmake -E env variables; what the
  target depends on is built first, not the target itself
- Debug for custom targets in the status bar, the Targets view and the
  code lenses above add_custom_target
- Dockerfile (Node, CMake, Ninja, g++, GDB), scripts/docker.sh to run a
  command in it, a dev container, and example/ to try the extension on
