Feature request: export more ptvsd-related commands as api

[kejxu]

Internal Team Ask (vscode-ros)

currently only getRemoteLauncherCommand() is exposed in vscode-python's api interface.

meantime, as described in ptvsd documentation, ptvsd could be used at entry (to launch a script/module), or while the (Python) process is running (to inject a ptvsd instance)

It would be nice if a new getInjectDebugServerCommand() api could be exposed.

Note

• If we go down this path, we'd need to document the API and create an npm package (API to expose debugger command to other extensions #3121)

Closing it since once the work for #1078 is done, this API won't be needed as VS Code will be able to automatically connect to a process you want to connect to.

thanks for the update, are there any pull requests related to #1078? not able to find links from that issue's page

@kejxu Not yet, it's marked as "needs spec" so we can finish some design decisions before we work on it, but we may start working on it soon :)
