Description

Right now (after https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/5774) one can add inline breakpoints from the main menu, from the command palette or using shift + f9 short-cut. It would be nice if one would be able to use the context menu in the editor gutter to add/remove/enable/disable a breakpoint at the specific column in the line.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing inline breakpoint feature (PR #5774) to understand how breakpoints are added at specific columns. Then, investigate how the editor gutter context menu is implemented in Theia (likely using @theia/editor or @theia/monaco). Extend the menu contributions to include add/remove/enable/disable actions for inline breakpoints in the gutter context menu.
