Description
Many launch configs share a lot of code. We should support inheriting launch config data. Something like this:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "brightscript",
"name": "Base Launch Config",
"host": "192.168.1.123",
"password": "SuperSecret"
},
{
"type": "brightscript",
"name": "Dev",
"extends": "Base Launch Config",
"rootDir": "${workspaceFolder}/dev"
}
]
}
In this situation, the "extends" key for the second launch configuration would inherit all of the keys from the first launch config entry, and then override with any keys that it has (typical json Object.assign() functionality)

Research direction
Review linked pull request #786 first, since implementation is already underway. Use the issue's launch configuration example as the behavioral reference: an extends configuration should inherit the base keys and override them with its own values.
