  Revisiting the Pico Project Generator - modifying the launch.json generator!

  On default, this launch.json generator inside doesn't point to the modified config files for FT2232H and the search directories are not included.

  Going to about line 933, just replace this "v1" with this:

  def generateProjectFiles(projectPath, projectName, sdkPath, projects):
  
      oldCWD = os.getcwd()
  
      os.chdir(projectPath)
  
      for p in projects :
          if p == 'vscode':
              v1 = ('{\n'
                    '  // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.\n'
                    '  // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.\n'
                    '  // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387\n'
                    '  "version": "0.2.0",\n'
                    '  "configurations": [\n'
                    '    {\n'

                    '      "configFiles": [\n' + \

                    '        ],\n' +  \
                    '      "svdFile": "${env:PICO_SDK_PATH}/src/rp2040/hardware_regs/rp2040.svd",\n'
                    '      "runToMain": true,\n'
                    '      "searchDir": [\n' + \
                    '        "E:/openocd/tcl"\n' + \
                    '       ],\n'
                    '    }\n'
                    '  ]\n'
                    '}\n')

  Note: Be sure to replace the drive letter with wherever you placed the OpenOCD and the RP2040 SDK. In this example it is at E drive.
