Lua Remote DeBugger for Visual Studio Code

Fork changes

This fork is modified to use absolute paths from LRDB debugger instead of relative. It also defines new launch.json property - sourceFileMap for translating remote paths to local and vice-versa.

This fork works only with similarly modified LRDB - kapecp/LRDB.
