Description

Describe the feature you'd like
When using JSDebugger attached to a webpage, it would be nice if it displayed an overlay on the page indicating paused similar to the inbox devtools. When devtools in the browser pauses on the page, it displays a message like this:

It would be cool if we set the message to "Paused from Visual Studio Code" or similar. The CDP method responsible for the message is: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Overlay/#method-setPausedInDebuggerMessage I was trying to prototype this out myself, but ran into a few issues. I'll come back and take a closer look if I get a bit more time, but figured I'd file a bug in case you get to it first
