Theia IDE Compatibility

Followed the following guide to integrate our VSIX into Theia:
https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/wiki/Testing-VS-Code-extensions
Remember: Theia does not support extension installation from VSC Marketplace

Theia doesnt support DebugAdapterInlineImplementation class, which we use to launch the Debugger. Though, it supports and mostly works with DebugAdapterServer class.
@wallento should we file an issue in the theia project for DebugAdapterInlineImplementation support?

When using DebugAdapterServer class to make it run, there are still some bugs:

• cannot open views (memory, led matrix, ...)
• does not show full stack information, shows only one frame => highlights the wrong current instruction
  • theia displays an action Load More Stack Frames in the stack panel, but this doesnt change anything

@wallento should i further investigate on these issues?

As discussed, I will investigate the above described issues

related to cannot open views(memory, led matrix, ...)

theia only supports around 90% of vscode API at the moment
see a detailed list here: https://che-incubator.github.io/vscode-theia-comparator/status.html

unsupported, but in use by our extension:

• extensionUri
• vscode.Uri.joinPath

For future development: this gif describes how theia plugins can be debugged nicely

• regarding to the call stack problem: observe if there is a special theia API to implement the "load more frames" button behaviour
• investigate deployment possabilities, like: launching through gitpod
