Description
Currently, it is not impossible to run gdb remote debugging session, without added connection to ConnectionInfoStore (C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Linux\User Data\3.0\store.xml).
It would be super useful to be able to run debugger, using SSHPortSupplier in cases, when connection required password/private key authentication without pre-added remote connection.
Could you, please, add support for it? Or maybe you already working on it.
Looks like liblinux.Persistence.ConnectionInfoStore already supports ConnectionInfo, which stored in memory.
Thank you!

Research direction
Start by tracing SSHPortSupplier and how it obtains data from liblinux.Persistence.ConnectionInfoStore, including the in-memory ConnectionInfo path. Define and verify behavior for password and private-key authentication when no store.xml connection exists; done means a gdb remote debugging session can start without a pre-added Visual Studio connection.
