[REQUEST] Configure build folder for Arduino

[wbadry]

Hello,
It would be nice if there is a way to configure the path for the build folder, debug or release to make it easier to get the hex or elf file in a directory within the project folder like C++

I agree. I have spent a few minutes searching and don't see where the files get written to, so it's not completely obvious.

For anyone else wondering, you can add "output" : "build" to the arduino.json file.
