Research direction

Start by locating the launch.json handling for a configuration with "type": "cppdbg" and trace how debugger settings become GDB commands. Verify how the requested target-async setting should be represented, then confirm that the generated command includes it for old GDB executables without changing other debugger types.

Description

Type: Feature Request

Kindly please add -gdb-set target-async off for a "type": "cppdbg" in launch.json.
This is needed for some old gdb execs which reports async as supported but really they
do not support it or supports it badly.
