Description
The issue lies in the stopping reason handling for entrypoint-hit code where we determine it isn't an entry point and fire the wrong AD7 stopped event, which is causing VS to not stop. We need to figure out which case this is and fire the correct entrypoint-hit reason.

Research direction
Start by tracing the stopping-reason handling for the entrypoint-hit code and the AD7 stopped events while reproducing debugging between gdb and gdbserver. Determine which case is being misclassified; done means stopOnEntry causes Visual Studio to stop and the correct entrypoint-hit reason is fired.
