Able to debug using SEP in Visual Studio Code when a data library is set to *PROD

When debugging using a native (green) screen, you can specify STRDBG UPDPROD(*YES). When using SEP in Visual Studio Code, there is no way to specify this, therefore, we can't use the SEP in Visual Studio Code if the library attribute is set to *PROD.

    The update production files feature for SEP is already supported in IBM i Debug extension v2.0.2. The user also need to apply the following debug service PTF on the host:
    7.3 PTF SJ02996
    7.4 PTF SJ03026
    7.5 PTF SJ03030

    After updating the client and host PTF, the user can enable the Update Production Files option using the following steps:
    1. From VSCode, connect to the target host
    2. Select View > Command Palette..., then select IBM i: Connection Settings
    3. Select the Debugger tab
    4. Check the "Update production files" option, then select "Save settings"

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority Idea that is important to be addressed.

    Since this is already being support in RDi, it is imperative for VS Code to support this.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.
