Build and Debug support

[WeetHet]

Describe the feature

In most of today's code editors there is support for building tasks and debugging/launch support. This gives better reliability on the editor and reduces terminal usage. This is also just so much more comfortable. I think that first LLDB and Python debuggers should be introduced alongside with shell build tasks

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

See: VSCode Build/Debug, JetBrains IDE's debug support

Going to group this together with the code runner issue:

• Code runner #5141

I looked into vscode's task.json file format and I think we should build support for it. Its general purpose, used frequently today, and handles a lot of corner cases pretty well.

Speaking of that, shouldn't you also implement debug support? It will help a lot

I second this feature request.

An ability to run builds either manually or automatically based on some editor events, execute tests (with feedback on test failures) and run arbitrary shell scripts (or code snippets as mentioned in related "Code runner" issue), would be immensly helpful.

[WeetHet]

I just don't seem to understand why this, essential thing is not even considered by masses (well, we still don't have replace feature, so maybe that says something)

[natsuboy]

I think build, run, and debug are all core features.

Debugging support for especially Go 👍🏼

[WeetHet]

Maybe we should try to popularise this issue among other people so we would have more support?

I'll mention my own issue for this, as it's the oldest one and it already has a bunch of 👍🏻
#5307
it was covering mainly debugging through the support of dap servers, so no mention to building, but everyone who's interested on debugging should probably consolidate its reactions to that one

@JosephTLyons this one is very important feature which is required by default. Please Include this also as part of top ranking issues. So that i get attention from other developers also
