Include source map into theia image by default

[vzhukovs]

Description

There is a need to debug a client side (theia in workspace, not a dedicate hosted instance) in theia, but when image is build, all files needed for developmen are removed due to production cleaning step. This blocks debugging client side and instigates editing theia image and implies an extra work to build image, push it into own registry and edit deployment configuration in minikube cluster that might resets after cluster stops.

I think there are some specific reasons why we remove source maps from che-theia image, @benoitf what do you think?

[benoitf]

well, first I do not think it's kind of a blocker.

second, yes it's to have a minimal image size.
When I discussed that with @davidfestal we were thinking to store sourcemaps into the CDN as well so it would not be stored inside the image but could be available through CDN

[vzhukovs]

It blocks me at the moment, because I'm trying to remove the code, which removes sourcemaps from image and can't get success with it at the moment. It would be good to have the environment variable which will include sourcemaps during theia image build (to include sourcemaps and cdn support or not), enabled by default.

IMHO you're blocked is different that there is blocker in product.
