I wanted a decent debugging setup, so I modified the agent to be able to be debugged by IntelliJ. This lets me set breakpoints on both sides of the protocol. This was a fairly straightforward change, but I have only used it for a few hours, so there may be issues. However it is very useful to be able to debug the agent, so I am committing it now. There are two modes of operation supported: Cody can spawn the agent or IntelliJ can spawn it. The latter allows Cody to talk to any remote agent. I added detailed instructions on how to set this up in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Test plan
Locally/manually tested. This is a dev-only code path, and tricky to unit test.
