Changes to make the examples run on Fresh Install

[Willmac16]

I found a couple of things I had to change to get the repo to run on my fresh install on my machine (also an intel machine, not an M series).

• thread_execution_width is now deprecated and causes compiler errors. All references to it have been removed, and the store array has been reindexed.
• AFAIK standard brew install paths have changed from /opt/homebrew/opt/ to /usr/local/opt/

Improvements/non-required changes I made

• I added Launch Targets that point at all of the top level tasks
• I edited the tasks.json file to be json compliant so I could jq it while trying to work out a bug that was actually just invoking a target that relied on relative paths from the wrong directory.

Let me know if my changes sound reasonable, or if you would like to only let through some/a modification to them. Also, I would recommend adding a note about the launch targets displaying program output to the Debug Console (at least on my config) because that was very non-obvious to me.
