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.

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.
