Add support for using extended-remote with launch configurations

This extends gdb launch configurations to support extended-remote.
It can be used for remote debugging where code is compiled on host, and
transferred and debugged on target using a remote gdbserver (or something
else speaking GDB/MI).

Note, this is not touching the code added in commit
318ece4 ("Added special commands for extended-remote fix WebFreak001#91"),
as that is only related to gdb attach configuration, although the
example in package.json is confusingly put with launch, which is
opposite of the code change.
I did not fixup that change, as I am not sure exactly what to put
instead.
