Description

The stagingFolderPath parameter is kind of gross. Instead, we should follow the same pattern as rootDir and call it stagingDir. The CLI and options parser should support both in order to maintain backwards compatibility for a while.

We also need to ensure that the vscode-brightscript-language extension, roku-deploy, and roku-debug also support these changes since all the tools work together.

Research direction

Start by locating the CLI and options parser handling stagingFolderPath, then trace how the setting is consumed by vscode-brightscript-language, roku-deploy, and roku-debug. Done means stagingDir works across these tools while the old parameter remains supported for backward compatibility.
