Support restart debugging embedded targets (with custom commands)

[kistlin]

Feature Request

To debug an embedded target using a SEGGER J-Link I followed #9956.
Debugging works fine. But the restart button does just stop the debugging.

Currently I'm using cortex-debug and there it is possible to overwrite commands as described here.

...
            "overrideLaunchCommands": [
                "monitor halt",
                "monitor reset",
                "-target-download",
                "monitor reset"
            ],
            "overrideResetCommands": [
                "monitor reset",
            ],
            "overrideRestartCommands": [
                "monitor reset",
            ]
...

Which then allows to restart the debugging with the built-in buttons.

Is there a similar thing already present? Or could this be added in the future?

@xisui-MSFT Can you handle this issue?

@WardenGnaw Azure Sphere doesn't need this feature for now, so we'll unlikely get support on doing this.
@benmcmorran Are your team interested in this?

@fearthecowboy would be the best person from the embedded crew to comment on this.

I have something similar in progress (plus, making it so that using a jlink it just 'works')

In jlink I think it's the command
"reset"
