support profiles from the command line

[weinand]

for extension debugging it would be great if a profile could be configured from the command line.

With this the new VS Code instance (the debuggee) could use a different environment (extensions, settings) than the instance running the debugger.

A launch config would look like this:

		{
			"name": "Run Extension",
			"type": "extensionHost",
			"request": "launch",
			"args": [
				"--extensionDevelopmentPath=${workspaceFolder}",
				"--profile=my_clean_profile"
			],
			"outFiles": [
				"${workspaceFolder}/out/**/*.js"
			],
			"preLaunchTask": "${defaultBuildTask}"
		}
