Description

Currently, and as it has been for all time, to add command-line args to an application you need to use the debug pages/launch profiles:

I propose that these are **also** added to the Application tab, since:

* It is a **very** common thing to do for applications
* It is not a debugging feature (technically launch profiles aren't about debugging, but they kkkkkiinnnddaa are)

I think a good place could be here:

Note that this is purely additive. I don't think we should remove the option from the launch profiles UI.

The values would remain in sync in the UI across both places.
