[vscode-lldb] Restart server when lldb-dap binary has changed (#159797)

# Motiviation

This helps the development of the lldb-dap binary. For example, when
testing a locally built lldb-dap binary, one probably wants to restart
the server after each build in order to use the latest binary. Not doing
so leads to confusion like "why the new lldb-dap isn't doing what I just
changed?".

This patch adds dependency to the `chokidar` package. The reason is that
we need something to detect changes to the `lldb-dap` binary file and
`chokidar` appears to be the most reliable package to do so. An
alternative solution which doesn't require adding dependencies is
discussed below (solution 1).

# Two different solutions considered

Solution 1: Restart server when lldb-dap binary's modification time
changes. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/159481 implements
solution 1.

Solution 2: Restart server when lldb-dap binary has changed (as detected
by a file system watcher). This patch implements solution 2 (using
`chokidar`).

# This patch (solution 2)

If the lldb-dap binary has changed, the next time the user start a debug
session, a dialog box will show up and prompt the user to restart the
server. Depend on what has changed, the dialog box will show different
content (see below)

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
