[VS Code] Update tutorial to show launch.json-less debugging #8

Closed lostintangent closed 7 years ago

VS Code 1.9 enabled the ability to start debugging a Node.js app without needing to create the launch.json file. You can simply set a breakpoint in a *.js file, and hit F5. The F5 gesture was already auto-creating the launch.json for you, but this subtle improvement to the "getting started" experience makes debugging feel even more friendly, and I want to make sure we capture that in this tutorial.

Updated the tutorial to include this workflow enhancement.
