No more source map while debugging nativescript app

Issue Description

Since about March 10th 2022 debugging in chrome and VS Code fails as there is no more valid source mapping for the .vue files.

The line number of breakpoints of the original .vue file is correct but the .vue file is not opened with an error hint that the source map coverage is n/a. But if you add the "debugger" command in a method and the debugger halts the .vue file is opened correclty (sometimes)?! Also when a hot deploy is committed you get the correct .vue file.

This error on debugging occurs in the latest package version(s) and the demo project.

The following example program is an official demo project from nativescript:

In the call stack, you can see onItemTab method and the reference to Items.vue:93

Versions
node.js 16.4.2

Reproduction

Reproduce this issue

With chrome dev tools

1. Create a new project with "ns create --vue", give a name and select "Tabs"
2. Add "debugger;" to Items.vue in the method "onItemTab" (line 92)
3. Install an emulator or connect a hardware android device and start it
4. Run the debugger with "ns debug android"
5. Start the chrome dev tools: "devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html?ws=localhost:40000"
6. Click in the app on a row to trigger the breakpoint
7. Now you should see an precompiled version of Items.vue and in the "Call Stack" the line reference 93

We have this issue on all platforms (windows+android and mac+ios)

With Visual Studio Code

1. Create a new project with "ns create --vue", give a name and select "Tabs"
2. Open root directory with VS Code
3. Install the "NativeScript" extension
4. Open the run and debug tab
5. Click on create launch.json and select "NativeScript"
6. Select "Run on Android" and run the debugger
7. You should now see an error message in the debug console

Debugging with Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code shows the following exception while starting the debugger:

Reproduzieren Sie das Debugger-Verhalten mit dem offiziellen Vue Tabs-Projekt, Items.vue und den aufgeführten Chrome- oder Visual Studio Code-Schritten. Lesen Sie zuerst webpack.config.js und die referenzierten NativeScript-Debug-Adapterdateien, und vergleichen Sie dann das generierte Source-Mapping mit der Items.vue-Position im Call-Stack. Als erledigt gilt, dass .vue-Dateien in beiden Debugger-Pfaden mit gültiger Source-Map-Abdeckung geöffnet werden, ohne den gemeldeten Startfehler.
