Support EWRL78 #6

I love finally seeing support for VSCode from IAR! It would be awesome if the extension could support other workbenches like EWRL78. I never wrote a VSCode extension myself so I don't know if I could extend it by myself.

RL78 is now supported (note that you need EWRL78 v5.10 or later).

Hi @HampusAdolfsson, I've tried to launch the debug session. It seems to correctly generate launch.json but it early fails with the following message:

Using C-SPY version: 8.5.2.7561
Driver loaded: C:\Program Files (x86)\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 8.5\rl78\bin\rl78ocd.dll

User error: Can not find/open the EXEC file: 'exrl78ocd.dll'.  The file must be located in the 'rl78/config/renesas/execs' directory.
Failed to load debugee: C:\Workspace IAR\mtc_vortice\Debug\Exe\MTC_VORTICE.out

I checked the IAR installation directory and the file exrl78ocd.dll is right there in the rl78/config/renesas/execs directory. So I guess that something is missing in the launch.json file.

Hi @miervasi-edalab. As mentioned above, debugging support comes with EWRL78 v5.10. This release is planned for Q1 2023.

Whops I forgot about that note! Well then I'll wait for the release next year! Thank you very much for the support!
