Description

The arch + platform is used to create the debugger binary view. Right now, it is either copied from the currently opened view, or is provided by the user. It would be nice if we can read the info from the debug adapter, removing the need to manually set them when the user uses the debugger without a binary view.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the debugger binary view obtains its architecture and platform, then inspect the debug adapter information available when no binary view is open. Done means the binary view can use architecture and platform read from the adapter without requiring manual user settings.
