Description

Right now we use dialogs to add and edit tree nodes. It would be better to allow inline editing.

Possible clients are the navigator and different debug views.

Research direction
Investigate the Theia tree widget implementation in packages/core/src/browser/tree. Look at how node addition/editing dialogs work and consider how to replace them with inline editing. Also examine the navigator and debug views to understand the contexts. Review any existing PRs or documentation on the subject.
