[FeatureRequest] Tool types can be named anything

[vezdeneszter]

Currently, when the user creates a new Dev Env, they can only select from the “supported” tool types. The DEM doesn’t accept any Dev Env descriptor that is not included in the supported tool type list.

This behavior should be changed because it limits the usability for no reason.

The DEM should not check whether the tool type is supported or not. Any name can be given for a tool type.

The “supported” tool types are stored in the DevEnv class’s supported_tool_types class variable.

Hi @vezdeneszter,

Do you want me to just ask for the name of the tool type?

[janosmurai]

No, the only task is to remove the _check_tool_type_support() method from the DevEnv class.
(The supported_tool_types class variable is still needed for the TUI, so don't delete that one.)

Please tell us if you'd like to start working on an issue, so we can assign it to you! Thanks!
