Restore "with args" to the launch.json options for PowerShell

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.

Summary

Sometime after ec53532, PowerShell Launch Current File w/Args Prompt was removed from launch.json.

That useful way of specifying args to a script being tested hasn't been replaced or updated since. Running the script and getting a prompt for Mandatory = $true parms just isn't the same. And who wants to specify args in launch.json itself?

It's a pain to keep coming back to the repo to find the syntax for w/Args Prompt because I have too much else to remember.

Can we please put this back into launch.json?

I miss it.

Proposed Design

Put back a few lines of JSON code into launch.json that were summarily removed for some reason that's probably lost to history.

You can add this to your individual projects' launch.json on an as-needed and personal-preference basis. Do you mean that you want it in this repo for the purposes of developing the extension itself? Perhaps I'm not sure what you're asking, feel free to open a PR!

I'm saying this was in the default launch.json until at some point in the past it was removed for no apparent reason. I'd like it put back into the defaults that are available when adding a new PowerShell debug profile.

As seen in the screenshot below, it's not there. That means one has to remember it, save it somewhere else and cut-n-paste it and/or find it in the repo.

It was much more convenient when it was in the product -- and I don't understand why it was removed.

Ok, cool! Feel free to open a PR, I'll mark this up-for-grabs 😁

@yobyot any luck finding the prior code that we could restore?

        {
            "type": "PowerShell",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "PowerShell Launch Current File w/Args Prompt",
            "script": "${file}",
            "args": [ "${command:SpecifyScriptArgs}" ],
            "cwd": "${file}"
        }

From examples/.vscode/launch.json at ec53532.

This is from 2017 -- and was removed sometime later in the defaults. IOW, it doesn't belong in the examples; it belongs in the default launch.json.
