@samariezas solution which replaces Debian Live with a simple debootstrap + chroot script install into a loop-mounted image. Much faster, simpler procedure, easier debuggable and the best thing since sliced bread.

This removes an unnecessary set of copy&delete operations
This is also slightly more secure as we could in theory verify that the
keys we downloaded and checked in here are legit.
Since we no longer need to use Debian Live terminology, this better
represents what this is all for.

For some reason if the extension pack is specified on the same cmdline
as ms-vscode.cpptools-1.30.5-linux-x64.vsix, this very large (~350 MB)
extension gets installed twice - one path with the OS&architecture
suffix.

Save a bunch of space by separating the extension pack from the
dependencies (we no longer save space in general, but it is useful to
fit within 16GB).
