Invalid vmArgument merging when launch.json has a list of vmArgs

[kdvolder]

See: spring-projects/sts4#395 (comment)

Summary:

If we make a launch.json that has something like:

           "vmArgs": [ "-Dspring.jmx.enabled=true", "-Dspring.application.admin.enabled=true" ]

Then this launches fine using the vscode java debugger tooling directly.

However when we launch it from the Boot Dashboard then the arguments are joined together with a , in between. This changes the meaning of the arguments and causes apps launched this way to malfunction.

The culprit I think is here:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-spring-boot-dashboard/blob/master/src/Controller.ts#L74

I guess javascript implicitly converts the array into a string adding commas between.

Yes, we can directly pass an array of vmArgs to the debugger extension, which has been supported since a couple of months ago.
Thank you for the fix!
