Document the new debuginfod configuration option in launch.json that controls GDB's debuginfod behavior. This option was added to MIEngine to prevent GDB hangs when debuginfod servers are unreachable

At what point do the docs update compared to when the fix gets shipped to insiders or release? We're not sure when our next insiders release will be because we're still working on fixes. Although if you really want, theoretically we could cherry-pick your fix to get it into releases sooner.

@ntrogh That's what I'm unclear about -- when do doc updates normally get released? When available in the latest pre-release or release? I think we may not release our next pre-release till the week of June 1.

@sean-mcmanus By default, docs reflect stable releases, unless prefaced otherwise.

Ah, okay. We don't yet have an ETA on when our 1.33.x stable will get released since it has major changes that are potentially destabilizing. I'll let you know when we release that.

The debuginfod.enabled property defaults to false, not true,
matching the cpptools extension source.
