VSCode support for test configuration for multiple files

[norbo03]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I want to configure custom JVM options for a test I can do that with launch.json and that works fine:

"configurations": [
        {
            "type": "scala",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Run Scala test with custom jvm args",
            "testClass": "project/folder/test1.scala",
            "jvmOptions": [
                "--add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED"
            ]
        }
    ]

However, if I want to run multiple tests (or a whole module) with the same JVM configurations I need to create several configurations for the test classes and a compound section to run them together.

Describe the solution you'd like

A great and convenient solution would be if I could add a testFilter option instead of testClass where I can provide a regular expression to match the tests I want to configure. Like simply defining the module I'd like to test:

...
  "testFilter": "project_root/module1/tests*",
...

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative solution would be changing testClass in such a way that it accepts a list of test classes that the configuration is referring to(then also renaming it to testClasses or something like that would be more intuitive).

Additional context

A nice to have would be if the configured tests would show up in the native Testing tab in VSCode.
