type python deprecated in favor of debugpy

[niderhoff]

Hi, in the newest versions of vscode the type for a python launch configuration is represented as "debugpy" instead of "python".

Previously (deprecated):

        {
            "name": "Python Debugger: Current File",
            "type": "python",       <-----------
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false
        }

New:

        {
            "name": "Python Debugger: Current File",
            "type": "debugpy",       <-----------
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false
        }

So by default they will be attached to the wrong file type if we import the launch.json using nvim-dap, i.e. they are not aviailable in the launch menu of nvim-dap. However, we may redirect them to python instead, so they show up in the Launch menu:

  require('dap.ext.vscode').load_launchjs(".vscode/launch.json", { debugpy = {'python'} })

Now they show up -- but -- if we launch any of them nvim-dap will complain that no adapter is installed for "debugpy", because nvim-dap-python registers only a "python" adapter not a "debugpy" adapter.

With the prospect of launch.json coming out of vscode projects in the future using the type-declarator "debugpy", wouldn't it make sense to support both in nvim-dap-python as well?

yes, I can confirm it works :)
