[Suggestion] Add option to allow setting process name based on --inspect-brk=0 random port

[Jamesernator]

Currently when using --inspect-brk=0 tools like VSCode are unable to effectively auto attach debuggers to them.

It is also particularly hard to have a cross platform way of detecting node processes that can be attached to when NODE_OPTIONS= is used.

I'd like to propose adding another option such as --inspect-set-process-title=pattern which sets the process title to the given pattern where some things like the websocket name and port can be replaced in the pattern.

e.g.:

# Where %port% gets replaced with the debugging port
$ node --inspect-brk=0 --inspect-set-process-title="node:vscode-auto-attach-port=%port%"
# Or where %websocketUrl% is replaced with the websocket url
$ node --inspect-brk=0 --inspect-set-process-title="node:vscode-auto-attach-w=%websocketUrl%

This could also work with the existing --title option when using --inspect-brk, I don't have a strong preference for a specific solution.
