Description
Right now, we have the debugger.stackVariableAnnotations setting which annotate the stack variable with the help of the analysis info. However, it could be inaccurate at times, and the user may wish to disable it. That said, the stack boundaries are less prone to errors, and I believe it would be helpful in most cases. So it would be nice if we can offer a different setting that controls whether we mark up the stack frame boundaries

Research direction
Start by locating the debugger.stackVariableAnnotations setting and the code that annotates stack variables and frame boundaries. Add a separate setting for frame-boundary markup, preserving independent control of variable annotations, and verify that each option produces the expected annotations.
